Today's temperatures will be almost ten degrees cooler, but the heat may still be dangerous. That's why a Heat Advisory continues in the orange around Western Washington until 5 p.m. In the pink, Excessive Heat Warnings linger until late tonight.

Drink plenty of water. If you don't have air conditioning at home, head into a building with A/C today to give your system a break. Check on the beloved senior citizens in your life to make sure they're doing okay. Also, remember to never leave people or pets in a car on a hot day – it can be life-threatening to do so.

Thankfully, it'll be slightly more comfortable for sleeping tonight. I know the heat has made sleeping incredibly difficult for many people without A/C in Western Washington.
