The heat wave will continue to impact the area today, and AAA experts are reminding drivers about the dangers of leaving children and pets inside cars.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 900 children have died of heat stroke in the last 25 years after being left or trapped in a vehicle.
Pets are also susceptible to heat stroke. Animals left in hot cars can face organ damage, brain damage, and even death.
Signs of heat stroke include panting, drooling, vomiting, and wobbly movement.
Cars can get hot very quickly. AAA says in just 10 minutes, the temperature inside a vehicle can heat up by 20 degrees and become deadly.
