...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 8 PM EDT
THIS EVENING...
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...

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

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED. THIS EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR SATURDAY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE MIDDLE 90S.
THESE TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PUSH THE
HEAT INDICES TO NEAR 100 DEGREES DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE
HIGHEST HEAT INDICES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN THE MORE URBANIZED
AREAS. LOW TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NIGHT ARE FORECAST TO ONLY DROP TO
THE MID AND UPPER 70S IN THE MORE URBANIZED AREAS.

HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES
COOLER ON SATURDAY. MORE IMPORTANT, DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND
THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. THEREFORE, CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY DO
NOT SEEM TO WARRANT A HEAT ADVISORY OR WARNING.

ON SUNDAY, HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND A SOUTHWESTERLY 
FLOW WILL RETURN. THIS WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN HUMIDITY ONCE
AGAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE MIDDLE 90S. THE MAIN QUESTION
IS HOW HUMID IT WILL GET. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT HEAT
INDICES COULD REACH AROUND 100 DEGREES AGAIN. THEREFORE, AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SUNDAY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE
POSSIBLE. 

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HOT
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND
HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN
WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. 

DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM, STAY OUT
OF THE SUN AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. THE ELDERLY,
THE VERY YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE HEAT. 

AT A MINIMUM, PLEASE BE SURE THAT PETS HAVE ACCESS TO A SHADED AND
WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND PLENTY OF COOL WATER. THE MOST HUMANE
THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INTO AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM.

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