...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...

THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. 

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE MID 90S SUNDAY AND
MID TO UPPER 90S MONDAY. THESE HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH
INCREASING HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL CREATE HEAT INDEX VALUES WELL
INTO THE 90S ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND AROUND 100 DEGREES ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE HOT, BUT THE HUMIDITY WILL BE WORSE
ON MONDAY. 

HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 100 DEGREES CAN CREATE A SITUATION IN
WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF
THIS OCCURS OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS. ADDITIONALLY...LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM...WITH WIDESPREAD VALUES IN
THE 70S STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE URBAN AREAS AND AROUND 70
ELSEWHERE.

IT WILL BECOME NECESSARY TO FOLLOW SOME COMMON-SENSE SAFETY RULES
TO AVOID HEALTH PROBLEMS FROM THE HEAT. WEAR LIGHT-COLORED AND
LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING...DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS...
STAY OUT OF THE SUN...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED OR WELL
VENTILATED PLACE...AND CHECK ON ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
ALSO... AVOID STRENUOUS OR PROLONGED WORK IN THE SUN OR IN POORLY
VENTILATED AREAS. PLEASE CHECK ON THE ELDERLY. DO NOT ASSUME THAT
CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS IN CAMPS OR PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS
TOURNAMENTS ARE IMMUNE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE HEAT. PLEASE MAKE
SURE THEY DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
TO CANCELING OR POSTPONING STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES. ALSO...PLEASE
MAKE SURE THAT PETS AND ANIMALS HAVE ACCESS TO A SHADY AND WELL-
VENTILATED PLACE AND PLENTY OF COOL WATER.

NEVER LEAVE ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL UNATTENDED IN A VEHICLE FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME.

IF CURRENT FORECAST TRENDS CONTINUE IT MAY BECOME NECESSARY TO
ISSUE EITHER A HEAT ADVISORY OR EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING EARLY
SUNDAY. A WEAK FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE ACROSS THE AREA ON
TUESDAY. DEPENDING UPON HOW MANY LINGERING CLOUDS ARE OR ARE NOT
AROUND THEN... EXCESSIVE HEAT MIGHT PERSIST INTO TUESDAY AND EVEN
WEDNESDAY.
