We encourage you stay hydrated and cool this week with temperature expected to be 94 degrees today cooling to 62 degrees tonight. The 10-day forecast looks to be much cooler ranging from 73-89 degrees.  

We advise everyone to stay well-hydrated this week.  We also would like to encourage everyone to make friendly phone calls to check in with their neighbors, especially home-bound elderly and vulnerable populations in Fremont.
