What I'm Watching

Hot Weather Continues

High temperatures will remain in the lower to middle 90s through Friday, creating uncomfortable conditions during the afternoon. While Davidson County is expected to stay just below widespread heat advisory criteria, it will still be important to take heat precautions if you're spending time outdoors.

✔ Drink plenty of water.
✔ Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
✔ Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.

The weekend cold front should bring a noticeable drop in humidity along with temperatures easing back into the upper 80s and lower 90s by Sunday and early next week, making for a much more comfortable stretch of weather.
