Cooling centers open Tuesday and Wednesday.

An excessive heat watch has been issued in the area beginning at 1 p.m. Tuesday through Wednesday evening. Daytime highs in the 90s to 100s are expected with little relief in the evenings. The heat is particularly dangerous to the elderly, small children and those with medical conditions.
