Heart of Illinois ABC Meteorologist Balint Szalavari wants people to be cautious if they have to be outdoors.

“Make sure to stay hydrated and if you have to be outside for an extended period of time the next couple of days just make sure to take it easy and give yourself plenty of breaks,” Szalavari told WJBC’s Scott Miller.

Also, a reminder to never leave children or pets unattended in parked vehicles.
