Wednesday is expected to be the hottest day with a gradual decrease in heat through the remainder of the week. More significant cooling is expected over the weekend as a strong high pressure weakens over the area.

The NWS is advising people to drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check up on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly.
