...OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AS 
BOTH HEAT AND HUMIDITY INCREASE...

THE SCORCHING HEAT THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE 
NATION THIS PAST WEEK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT OVER THE EASTERN PORTION 
OF THE COUNTRY THIS COMING WEEK.  

HEAT INDICES WILL BEGIN TO CLIMB ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE TO SLOWLY 
RISE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND 
HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE 95 TO 100 DEGREES ON SUNDAY, 
INCREASED LEVELS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE 
100 TO 105 DEGREES ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY. 

HERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHEN THE HEAT ARRIVES.

TRY TO AVOID WORKING OR PLAYING DIRECTLY IN THE SUN. IF YOU WILL BE 
OUTSIDE, WEAR LIGHT-COLORED, LIGHTWEIGHT CLOTHING, A HAT WITH A 
BRIM, AND SUNSCREEN.

AN AIR-CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT IS BEST. IF THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE, 
TURN ON A FAN AND OPEN WINDOWS TO RELEASE TRAPPED HOT AIR.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS EVEN IF YOU AREN'T THIRSTY.

IF YOU TAKE MEDICATION, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN ABOUT POSSIBLE 
ADVERSE REACTIONS IN HEAT. 

ANIMALS CAN SUFFER FROM THE HIGH HEAT AS WELL. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE 
ACCESS TO WATER AND SUFFICIENT VENTILATION.

LASTLY, NEVER LEAVE ELDERLY PEOPLE, CHILDREN OR PETS ALONE IN CARS. 

CONTINUE TO MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA 
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION CONCERNING THE UPCOMING HEAT.
