...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO
8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS
MORNING TO 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING.  

AFTER ANOTHER DAY OF RECORD BREAKING HEAT AND A WARM NIGHT, SOME
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT IS EXPECTED TODAY AS HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD
BE MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S. BUT, HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL RISE
AND NEARLY FULLY COMPENSATE FOR THE DROP IN TEMPERATURES. THE
COMBINATION OF BOTH SHOULD PRODUCE HEAT INDICES OF AROUND 100
DEGREES BY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. 
 
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO EASE SLIGHTLY THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY BECAUSE OF MORE CLOUDINESS...BUT LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS 
WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA ABOUT
SATURDAY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THE PROLONGED SPELL OF VERY HOT AND INCREASINGLY HUMID WEATHER
HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS AND IN SOME INSTANCES DEADLY SITUATION.
ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE SOMEWHAT LESS OPPRESSIVE TODAY...THE FOLLOWING
STILL APPLY...

AVOID SPENDING MUCH TIME OUTDOORS DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY...
AND REMAIN IN AN AIR CONDITIONED LOCATION IF POSSIBLE. IF YOU
MUST BE OUTSIDE...DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

THE ELDERLY...THE VERY YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE
TO THE DANGERS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT. PLEASE CHECK ON THESE PEOPLE.

COACHES...TRAINERS...CAMP COUNSELORS AND LIFEGUARDS SHOULD REMAIN
ALERT FOR SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND OR HEAT STROKE. PLEASE
CONSIDER POSTPONING ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES OR WORK OUTS. 

KEEP YOUR PETS IN A SHADED AND WELL VENTILATED LOCATION AND
PROVIDE THEM WITH PLENTY OF COOL DRINKING WATER. THE MOST HUMANE
THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INDOORS.

NEVER LEAVE ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL IN A PARKED VEHICLE FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME. DEATH CAN OCCUR IN MINUTES.
