People who are sensitive to the heat and/or don’t have sufficient cooling or hydration options will want to take precautions, the weather service advises.

The Salvation Army has opened its cooling station at 35 W. Owens Ave. in North Las Vegas. The cooling station and shelter is open from 8 a.m. to 4 pm daily. Clark County will likely open daytime cooling stations across the area soon.
