Weather

Heat advisories continue through at least 7 p.m. Friday as lows don't fall below 80Fand highs reach 100-102. Factor in the humidity and feels-like temps will fall between 108 and 114. Coastal residents should be particularly cautious because the humidity is higher there, which increases the heat index and makes heat stroke/exhaustion more likely. Not much change through the weekend and a few rain chances. Check Frank's full forecast here.
