Tonight, conditions will stay clear with a low near 81F. However, temperatures are expected to rise to around 83F overnight. Heat index values could reach 105F.

Winds will be from the south at 5 to 10 mph. The lack of cloud cover means the ground will continue to radiate heat into the night, keeping conditions uncomfortable.

Tomorrow's Forecast and Safety

Tomorrow will also be sunny, with a high near 103F. Heat index values are expected to reach 106F again. Winds will be from the southwest at around 10 mph.

Tonight after tomorrow, skies will be mostly clear with a low near 81F, rising to 84F overnight. Heat index values may reach 106F. Winds will be from the south at 5 to 10 mph.

There is no chance of precipitation for either day. Given the sustained high temperatures and high heat index values, it is critical to limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day. Stay hydrated, seek air-conditioned environments when possible, and check on vulnerable neighbors or family members who may be at higher risk for heat exhaustion.
