There is a Heat Index Advisory and there is also a slight risk for severe weather to develop. Today is going to be stifling and as bad as it is, we can at least take heart that after today, it will begin to be more comfortable. Still some 80 degrees with a small chance for some showers on Wednesday and maybe Friday, but much better than what we’re experiencing today. Try to stay cool any way possible, hydrate and just be careful. In heat like this, it’s easy to find yourself in trouble quite easily.

And as a personal aside…this is exactly why it’s foolish and dangerous to have schools start before Labor Day. How it ever got going and allowed, is beyond comprehension.  Schools should start after Labor Day and end with Memorial Day. End of story. Now do something about it.
