A heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Tuesday.
The combination of hot temperatures and high relative humidity
will allow for afternoon heat index values of 105 to 110 degrees
to continue into Monday and Tuesday. These dangerous heat index
readings will last for several hours during the afternoon and
into the evening hours. Heat index values in isolated locations
could briefly exceed 110 degrees.
Even though temperatures will drop off during the evening... there
will be little relief... as overnight low temperatures will range
from 75 to 80 degrees.
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. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned
room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and
neighbors.
