Heat Advisories Issued For Area This Weekend

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the Pioneer Valley this weekend. The predicted high temperature for Springfield on Saturday and Sunday is in the mid-to-upper 90s.

The city of Springfield says it will not be opening cooling centers out of an abundance of caution due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.

Mayor Dom Sarno says, “Although the heatwave is only going to last over the weekend, Commissioner Helen Caulton-Harris and I want to remind residents to stay hydrated, check on your elderly neighbors, be mindful of your pets, and please take advantage of our wonderful parks or local libraries that are open that offer the resources for staying cool.”

A temperature drop is forecast on Monday. We are expecting to see the low 70's.
