Excessive heat warning in effect Friday, heat wave to continue

An excessive heat warning will be effect for our area Friday until 8 p.m. It will feel like 100 degrees + and we will once again be challenging record heat, as our longest heat wave of the year drags into its fourth day.

Relief does not seem to be in sight, as Monday will most likely mark the 7th day in the heat wave.
