The National Weather Service in Wichita has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect until 8 PM CDT this evening.

90s to near 100 degrees over portions of east-central and
southeast Kansas... to the low to mid 100s over portions of
south-central Kansas... and southern portions of central Kansas.
This heat will combine with relatively higher dewpoints across the
area to create dangerous heat indices at or exceeding 105
degrees for a time this afternoon and evening... especially across
south-central and southeast Kansas. Heat indices for most
locations across central Kansas will likely remain a tad lower in
the 100 to 104 degree range.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will create conditions where heat illnesses are possible. Drink
plenty of fluids and stay in an air-conditioned room if possible.
Stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and neighbors.
