strenuous activity...keeping yourself hydrated by drinking plenty
of non alcoholic beverages...and using sunscreen. Never leave
children or pets unattended in vehicles...even for a short time.

windows are partially open.
Temperatures will remain above the century mark through this week
as the ridge of high pressure continues over the region. It will
remain seasonably hot through the week with temperatures 8 to 10
degrees above average.
