Heat Advisory: Heat Index 112 Degrees Or Higher This Weekend; Scattered Storms

August 10, 2019

Temperatures will top out in the mid to upper 90s this weekend with the heat index soaring to 107-112, possibly as high as 115 degrees. Temperatures are forecast to only fall into the upper 70s at night, so there will not be much relief from the heat.

High heat and humidity cause the body to work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature. Stay indoors with air conditioning if at all possible over the next few days. Check on your neighbors and friends and family frequently if they do not have air conditioning. Outdoor plans this weekend? Make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and apply sunscreen regularly.
