Peak summertime heat carries right on through the weekend and into next week, with temperatures reaching into the middle to upper 90s away from the coast with heat index values very near, but not quite to the threshold for a heat advisory. Though not quite advisory-level heat, this can still be dangerous to vulnerable groups that have trouble regulating body heat and/or will be exerting themselves outdoors in the sun. It will be important for everyone, but especially folks from these vulnerable groups to proactively work against the stress of our peak summer heat to stay ahead of heat illness!
