🥵 Take the heat seriously. Unseasonably hot temperatures are expected this entire week with highs near 100 degrees and heat index values in the triple digits. The abundant sunshine and warm nighttime lows will create a prolonged period of dangerous heat through at least Friday. Drink plenty of water and head inside promptly to cool down if you start feeling overheated.

To every volunteer firefighter across the country: thank you for your courage, your commitment, and everything you do to keep your communities safe.

Today, the HEAT has caused a statewide shade of PINK. Missouri is looking a little rosy but the temps not so much. 🥵 Hydrate & avoid outdoor activities during the triple digit heat index values these next couple of days. Take the extreme heat warning seriously & stay cool!
