🥵: The heat will be no joke over the next few days, we will see some of the hottest temperatures so far this year with near record high temperatures. Heat Index values will be in the 100-112°F range for a good portion of the state on Saturday and likely extend into early next week as well. Below is a look at the max expected heat index values on Saturday (the feels like) once you factor in the real temperature and humidity, this is what it'll feel like in direct sunlight in the mid-afternoons. The greatest risk for extreme heat is from 1 PM to 7 PM each day, but many areas will struggle overnight to get out of the 80s and upper 70s.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, and stay out of the sun, and check on relatives and neighbors.

Do not leave young children or pets unattended in vehicles. Car
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
