Summer Heat and Humidity Thru The Weekend

Summer. That’s the best description of the end of the work week and coming weekend as we get a bit of a break from the various rounds of rain that have been occurring across the Plains States recently. 

However, with that break from the rain will come some hot and humid conditions, with our first multi-day run of temperatures at, or above, 90 degrees thus far this year. Heat indices will range around 100 degrees through the weekend as a result. 

So, anyone working or playing outside will want to keep themselves well hydrated.
