Extreme heat is forcing some schools in the state to close early this week.  The National Weather Service forecast calls for high temperatures in the mid-to-upper-90's in some areas today and tomorrow, with some places in the central part of the state expected reach over 100-degrees. 
Officials say when temperatures surpass 90-degrees in classrooms with no air conditions, there are concerns about stress on students and teachers.
In our listening area, Colman-Egan School is dismissing at 1:00 today and tomorrow because of the heat, and Howard Schools are dismissing at 1:30 today.  Howard also dismissed early on Tuesday.
