Heat advisory issued across the state as temperatures soar

Most of the state is under a heat advisory through the remainder of the week, according to weather officials. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid- to upper 90s, with heat indices as high as 110 in certain locations.

Officials recommend limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is also advised.

People are urged to recognize signs of heat illness and take appropriate action if symptoms appear. Authorities remind residents never to leave children, seniors, or pets in vehicles, even for a short period.

For those outside, taking frequent breaks in shaded or cooled areas is important. Community members are encouraged to check on neighbors and loved ones to ensure their safety amid the heatwave.
