By Tuesday afternoon temperatures are forecast to warm into the 90s for most areas... and from 100 to 105 for the hottest inland valleys. Temperatures on Wednesday will likely warm a few additional degrees. In addition... temperatures will remain warm overnight. Temperatures on Tuesday night will cool only into the 60s and lower 70s. An excessive heat watch means that a prolonged period of hot temperatures is expected. The expected hot weather can create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned room... and avoid working in the sun. Check on relatives and neighbors... especially those who are sensitive to the heat. This excessive heat watch may need to be extended into Thursday. |
