Heat Wave this weekend ... take real caution for horses and yourself >> water, water, water... shade, fans, electrolytes, cold hosing... all of the above.
Axios: This weekend will be the hottest of the year in Charlotte. Heat index values, or feels-like temperatures, are expected to reach triple digits, according to WBTV.

Why it matters: The first dangerous heat wave of the year hit earlier than usual, Axios' Andrew Freedman writes.

It's also unusual in its long duration, and is affecting areas unaccustomed to extreme heat, from the Midwest and Ohio Valley to the Northeast.The high temperatures bring heightened risks for the very young and elderly and those with chronic health conditions.

Between the lines: Humidity levels in the Charlotte region will rise into the tropical level, with high temperatures topping out in the mid- to upper 90s, according to WBTV, which has issued First Alerts for Saturday and Sunday.

The rising temps are due to a "strong ridge of high pressure overhead," meteorologist Rachel Coulter told Axios."The very muggy conditions won't help, pushing our heat indices ... up above 100° each afternoon," she added.

Reminder #2...
