An excessive heat warning remains in effect this evening across most of East Texas. Heat indices today have reached over 110° in many locations as today has turned out to be the hottest day of 2020 so far. We are looking at a slight cool down this week, but it will remain hot.
Be sure to stay hydrated and find some shade if you are going to spend time outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
