Weather: High 90°, Low 71° ☀️⛈️
Yes, always take time to smell the flowers, but in this heat don't take too much time. Stay hydrated and find some shade.
The Local 4Casters are expecting a hot day today with the heat index near 95°. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening.
Summer is not messing around right now. Temperatures will be in the high 80s this week, and it will likely feel even hotter with the humidity. We might all want some rain at some point to cool things down!
For everyone who complained about the cool, rainy spring, here's your reward!
