THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS CANCELLED THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT
FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 8 PM EDT THURSDAY. 

AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND
REMAIN THROUGH THURSDAY. THE AIR MASS THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
HIGH IS HOT AND HUMID. HIGH TEMPERATURES BOTH TODAY AND THURSDAY
ARE FORECAST TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S WITH HEAT INDICES CLOSE TO 
100 DEGREES. NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE
LOWER TO MID 70S...EXCEPT IN HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS WHERE THEY
MIGHT NOT DROP MUCH BELOW THE 80 DEGREE MARK.

A WEAK COLD FRONT...EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...
WILL USHER IN SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR FRIDAY INTO THE
EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH
MEANS THAT HOT TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.

THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL
COMBINE TO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES
ARE LIKELY. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED
ROOM...AND STAY OUT OF THE SUN. CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND
NEIGHBORS...ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY AND THE INFIRM...TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED FROM THE HEAT.

MAKE SURE THAT PETS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS HAVE ACCESS TO GOOD
VENTILATION...SHADE FROM THE SUN AND PLENTY OF COOL WATER. THE
MOST HUMANE THING TO DO WITH PETS IS TO BRING THEM INTO AN AIR
CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT.

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