...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 8 PM EDT
WEDNESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING.
IT IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY UNTIL 800 PM WEDNESDAY.

A VERY HOT AIR MASS WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION DURING THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE DURING THE
PERIOD. AS A RESULT, AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED.

FOR TODAY, AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE 98
TO 100 DEGREE RANGE, WITH MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX VALUES RANGING FROM
100 TO 102.

TUESDAY IS ANTICIPATED TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE STRETCH, WITH
HIGHS FROM 100 TO 102 DEGREES AND HEAT INDEX VALUES RISING TO 104
TO 106.

WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE THE MOST HUMID OF THE THREE DAYS. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM 97 TO 99 DEGREES, WITH
MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 102 TO 104.

THERE WILL BE LITTLE RELIEF DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, AS
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP ONLY INTO THE 70S. SOME HIGHLY
URBANIZED LOCATIONS MAY NOT FALL BELOW THE 80 DEGREE MARK.

A SLIGHT BREAK IN THE EXCESSIVE HEAT IS EXPECTED TOWARD THE END
OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD REMAIN QUITE WARM AND HUMID. A
COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTHWEST IS ANTICIPATED TO ARRIVE OVER THE
WEEKEND.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THE PROLONGED SPELL OF VERY HOT AND INCREASINGLY HUMID WEATHER WILL
CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

AVOID SPENDING MUCH TIME OUT OF DOORS DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY
AND REMAIN IN AN AIR CONDITIONED LOCATION, IF POSSIBLE.

BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

KEEP YOUR PETS IN A COOL LOCATION AND PROVIDE THEM WITH PLENTY OF
WATER.
