FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND A

REACH THE UPPER 90S AND PERHAPS NEAR 100. THEREFORE...AN

THROUGH MONDAY AS WELL. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA MONDAY AND DROP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BY TUESDAY.

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.
