...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE UPPER 80S TODAY AS CLOUDS
HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM GETTING TOO WARM. THERE IS ALSO THE
POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS. SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD
HAVE STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

FROM MONDAY AND ESPECIALLY FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...IT WILL BE
HOTTER AND MORE HUMID. AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE LOW 90S
MONDAY AND THEN THE MID 90S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH THE HEAT
INDEX REACHING AROUND 100.

HERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
FROM THE HEAT.

TRY TO AVOID WORKING OR PLAYING DIRECTLY IN THE SUN. IF YOU WILL
BE 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 AND SHADE.

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.

...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

HOT TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RULE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. HOWEVER,
IT WILL GET HOTTER AND MORE HUMID EACH DAY, WITH THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT 
AND HUMIDITY EXPECTED TO PEAK ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES 
WILL CLIMB EACH DAY AND BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S TODAY AND MONDAY, 
THEN INCREASE TO NEAR 100 TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE HEAT INDEX WILL 
BE NEAR 100 THIS AFTERNOON, 105 ON MONDAY AND IT COULD REACH 110 ON 
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON.  
HOWEVER, ANY RELIEF THEY GIVE FROM THE HEAT WILL BE TEMPORARY. IF 
THUNDERSTORMS DO FORM, THEY COULD HAVE STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND 
FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

REMEMBER...THE NIGHTTIME CAN BE JUST AS OPPRESSIVE AND THERE IS
LITTLE IF ANY PLACE TO GO FOR RELIEF EXCEPT IN YOUR OWN HOME. SO
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROPER VENTILATION AND PERHAPS EVEN STAY WITH A
FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND THROUGH THE HEAT WAVE. OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP TO THE 70S.
