Heat Advisory Through Tuesday

August 12, 2019

A heat advisory is in effect through Tuesday for the entire area. The heat index Monday will once again be the 106 to 113 degree range and may be as high as 115 by Tuesday.

Prolonged exposure to these conditions can increase your risk of heat related injuries like heat exhaustion, cramps and heat stroke.

Is there an end in sight to this miserable heat? Well, it’s the Gulf Coast in August, so it is going to be hot for a while, but the heat index should begin to settle down by the middle to end of your work week. We could see temperatures around 90 with heat index of only 100 degrees by Thursday.
