Hot and humid — that ’s the forecast for the next several days here in North Escambia. Temperatures are expected at about 100 the two few days, with heat indexes passing that century mark.

Today will be sunny and hot, with a high of 100.  Add in the humidity, and it will feel like 108 this afternoon. It will be clear an muggy tonight, with a low of 74.

Friday’s high is forecast to be 101 with a heat index of 105 plus. Expect more miserable heat on Saturday, with a high of 99.

By Sunday, afternoon highs will “cool” to the mid 90’s. A 20 percent chance of an afternoon shower creeps into the forecast by Sunday.

It is a good idea to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks if you have to work outside. Also, check on elderly friends and neighbors during the hot afternoons.
