...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY FOR HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS...

VERY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND 
PERSIST INTO THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL REACH INTO 
THE LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS MOST AREAS AND MERCURY READINGS ON 
THURSDAY WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL 
COMBINE WITH HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS TO CREATE HEAT INDICES OVER 100 
DEGREES FOR MANY AREAS TODAY AND THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL 
ONLY DROP INTO THE MID 70S IN URBANIZED AREAS AND WITH THE HIGH 
HUMIDITY READINGS, THIS WILL PROVIDE ONLY LIMITED RELIEF.  

TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE HEAT, LIMIT YOUR TIME 
OUT OF DOORS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY. ALSO, 
PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS TO BE SURE THEY 
ARE OKAY. THE ELDERLY, THE VERY YOUNG, AND THOSE WHO ARE ILL ARE 
MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT IS ALSO 
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER YOUR PETS. KEEP THEM IN A COOL LOCATION, AND 
BE SURE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF COOL WATER TO DRINK.

THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL DIMINISH DURING FRIDAY AS A COLD 
FRONT APPROACHES OUR REGION. THIS FRONT WILL BRING MORE CLOUDS AND 
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. COOLER AND SOMEWHAT 
DRIER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THE EXCESSIVE HEAT.
