The heat warning issued is still in effect Wednesday and could possibly go into Thursday.
Health officials say risks related to heat are higher for seniors, young children, people who work or exercise outdoors, and those with certain medical conditions, however, everyone can be affected.
Drinking plenty of water, limiting outdoor activities to the cooler parts of the day, and wearing sunscreen are some of the ways to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Some warning signs of heat-related illness include dizziness, exhaustion, headache, nausea or vomiting, weakness and confusion.
