A record for heat was broken in Marion County. The daytime high of 93 degrees Saturday afternoon broke a 38-year-old record of 91.

More records may be broken today, as the previous high mark of 93 was set in 1895. Heat index values will top out in the mid to upper 90s during the afternoon and early evening. Residents are reminded to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in shade or air conditioning, as well as to always double check their vehicles before locking them if traveling with pets and children.
