Westford Under Excessive Heat Warning on Friday

After a week of blazing temperatures, it's hard to believe. But things are heating up in Westford on Friday.

According to a report by WCVB.com, temperatures could soar past 100 degrees in parts of Massachusetts. Because of these conditions, the National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for a host of towns that includes Westford.

Earlier this week, Town Manager Jodi Ross told Patch that it's important to stay inside air conditioning whenever possible in order to beat the heat. Ross added that anyone in need of a place to cool down can contact Town Hall, and they'll be happy to help however possible.

Donoghue also suggested taking advantage of places to swim in town, along with places like J.V. Fletcher Library and the Cameron Senior Center.
