Get set for a heat wave.

Temperatures are expected to soar into the 90’s with some areas this week seeing a heat index of 100 or more.

In addition, humidity is also expected to make the week feel uncomfortable with dew points in the 70’s.

This could make it unsafe for some vulnerable residents.

The highs this week should move into the 90 degree range through Friday with the potential for authorities to declare a heat emergency.

That could result in opening up cooling stations and taking other measures to help those in need of relief.
