Father's Day is going to be scorcher! We have highs in the upper 90s to low triple digits!
Due to temperatures being so high we have a heat advisory in effect starting Sunday at noon and lasting until 7pm.
We also have Red Flag Warning in effect from noon Sunday until 8pm due to high temps, low humidity, and winds with gust up to 40mph.

With tomorrow being Father's day, I know a lot events will be happening. It is best to keep those inside, if you must go outdoors it is best to do it in the morning before heat really starts to kick in around noon. If you are outside tomorrow make sure to HYDRATE!

If you are in area with a Red Flag, please do all your cooking inside, I know grilling is popular for father's day but if a fire starts it could grow and spread rapidly!

Stay Safe!
