Weather officials are encouraging those with plans to venture outside this weekend to drink plenty of water, apply sunscreen and wear lightweight clothing.
The heat will continue on Sunday. However, there's a chance of showers and storms as a cool front is expected to wash over the state in the evening.
That cold front will drop temps Monday into the low 80s. Looking ahead, there'll be chance for thunderstorms several days next week.
