🌡️ Heat Advisory This Weekend 🌡️

A heat advisory is in effect this weekend, with dangerously high temperatures and humidity expected across our area.

If you’ll be spending time outdoors, remember to:
💧 Stay hydrated
🧢 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing
🌳 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle

Know the signs of heat stroke, including confusion, fainting, and a high body temperature. If someone is experiencing these symptoms, call 911 immediately.

Let’s all do our part to stay safe and check in on friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

Stay cool, stay safe, and have a great weekend! ☀️💙
