Excessive Heat Watch Issued For Monday; Heat Index of 105-110° Possible

Saturday marked the start of a return to the heat and humidity. The National Weather Service has shared that Excessive Heat Watches have been issued for Monday 11 AM-8 PM for much of the Shenandoah Valley & east of the Blue Ridge with heat indices of 105-110 degrees possible.

While Sunday will also be hot with a heat index of 105° possible, the Excessive Heat Watch is for Monday (as of 10:53pm on Saturday night). Tuesday is expected to be equally hot with Wednesday coming in just a few degrees lower. Showers are possible on Thursday as we cool down into the 80s for what looks like a few days.

The National Weather Service reminds everyone to:

• Never leave anyone (or pets) alone in a locked car

• Take frequent breaks from outdoor activities

• Stay hydrated with plenty of water
