Olivia, also 9-years-old, shared her secret to keeping cool while staying active.

Saturday marks the seventh day of high temperatures in the area.
Some relief is on the way, meteorologists say. Though temperatures are expected to hit the 90s again on Saturday, a cold front Saturday night, with the potential to produce severe thunderstorms, is expected to send temperatures throughout the region dropping to the mid-80s on Sunday.
