Near Record Setting Highs TomorrowHigh heat and Humidity are back at it again with heat index values expected to topple over 110 degrees in Sumter and Polk counties. A heat advisory will remain in effect throughout the rest of the afternoon (through 6:00), so remember to drink plenty of fluids and to take extra precautions if you are spending any time outdoors doing any strenuous activities. For those trying to beat the heat out at the beach keep in mind that High Rip Current Risks will be today’s top headline.
