There will be a heat wave this weekend as a large ridge of high pressure builds in over the northstate. Temperatures will soar into the middle 90s on Saturday and into the low 100s for Sunday. That will give us our first 100 degree day this calendar year. It's a little late, but it's been an unusual year, weatherwise. This heatwave will be short-lived (as they love to say on The Weather Channel) as cooler temps (if you want to call upper 80s cooler; I guess it's all relative) arrive by Tuesday. If you have to be outdoors this weekend, wear sunscreen, take frequent breaks, and drink plenty of water. Also, keep in mind that, while the water in our area creeks and streams may look inviting, the water temperatures are still running very cold right now. In other words, don't use the nearby creek to cool off- it's still very dangerous. Hypothermia could set in very quickly if you stay in the water too long. Be safe, and enjoy the weekend!
