EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING

Excessive Heat Warning or Excessive Heat Watch  are both in effect through the weekend, from Friday afternoon through Tuesday morning for this area.

Afternoon high temperatures will reach into the mid to upper 90s  this weekend. Not only will it be hot but it will be humid as well resulting in heat index values well over 100 degrees. Areas under the Excessive Heat Warning will experience heat index values as high as 113 degrees. Conditions will remain very warm overnight as well with overnight heat index values expected to be in the mid 70s to lower 80s.
Some things to consider when it's extremely hot out:
Stay indoors in an air-conditioned room whenever possible.
Try and plan outdoor activities for early in the morning or in the evening when temperatures are cooler and the sun isn't as strong.
Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion. Heat illness is likely when extreme heat is expected like this weekend.
Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
Stay out of the sun. If you are outside, stay in a cool, shaded location.
Check up on relatives, neighbors, and pets.
NEVER leave children or pets in cars since temperatures inside cars can become deadly in a matter of minutes.
