...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT SUNDAY...
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT
SUNDAY. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
TODAY IS ANOTHER HOT DAY, AND TONIGHT WILL BE NO DIFFERENT.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION ARE IN THE MID 90S BUT A FRESH
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WIND IS PROVIDING ENOUGH VENTILATION, AND
BRINING IN DRY AIR TO OFFSET THE HIGH TEMPERATURES. AS A RESULT,
THE HUMIDITY HAS BEEN KEPT LOWER AND NOT AS OPPRESSIVE AS FRIDAY.
THE VISIBILITY ACROSS THE REGION IS VERY GOOD WHICH IS A SURE SIGN
OF VENTILATION, AND CLEANER AIR OVERHEAD TODAY THAN ON FRIDAY.
HOWEVER, THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 70S
OVERNIGHT AND WITH LESS VENTILATION FROM THE WIND, WILL MAKE THE
NIGHTTIME AIR FEEL CLOSE. THE TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE A
DEGREE OR TWO HIGHER, BUT A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN THE HUMIDITY
WILL OCCUR. HEAT INDICES WILL BE NEAR 100 DEGREES.
SUNDAY EVENING WILL BRING AN END TO THE EXCESSIVE HEAT, BUT
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL GOING TO GET TO THE LOWER 90S WITH A HEAT
INDEX IN THE MID 90S ON MONDAY. TUESDAYS HIGH WILL BE NEAR 90 DEGREES.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOWERING A FEW DEGREES, OR INTO THE MID 80S
BY WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY.
MAKE SURE PETS AND LIVESTOCK HAVE PLENTY OF SHADE AND COOL WATER.
REGARDING PETS...THE MOST HUMANE THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM
INDOORS. FOR THOSE RESIDENTS IN URBAN AREAS WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE
THE HIGHEST... MAKE SURE YOUR DWELLING IS WELL VENTILATED. DURING
THE HOT WEATHER...NEVER LEAVE A PERSON OR ANIMAL IN A CLOSED
VEHICLE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT A CONTINUED PERIOD OF
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR. 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...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...
AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
