- Heat Risk increases to Minor today and spreads across desert valleys through Sunday.   - Minor Heat Risk means there is an increased risk of heat-related illness for those extremely sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. This includes people who are not acclimated to the heat yet (which makes early-season heat so dangerous) as well as tourists in town from cooler climates.   - Minor Heat Risk also includes people who are unable to take frequent breaks in the shade and who are consuming alcohol, caffeine, or other drugs.   - Elevated heat-related messaging is encouraged. https://sierrawave.net/nws-heat-risk-increases-to-minor-today/
