The summer solstice doesn’t happen until Thursday, marking the first day of summer.

However, a late spring heat wave began Sunday and will continue through the week.

Daily high temperatures in the low to mid 90s with mixed with a heat index of close to 100 degrees during the afternoon hours may be hazardous for sensitive and vulnerable populations.

The National Weather services encourages us to take extra precautions if spending time outside during peak heating of the day.

The forecast is calling for the conditions to continue through the coming weekend.
