A heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Monday.
This heat advisory is in effect for northeast Texas... northwest
and north central Louisiana... southwest Arkansas... and southeast
Oklahoma.
A strong ridge of high pressure aloft will remain in place across
the Southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley through Monday.
This will allow afternoon high temperatures to reach the upper
90s and lower 100s today and Monday. These temperatures... when
combined with the humidity... will allow heat index values to range
from 105 to 108 degrees across the four state region.
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 non alcoholic... non carbonated fluids...
and stay in an air-conditioned room as much as possible. If
using fans... open windows to allow for fresh air circulation.
Stay out of the sun as much as you can... and check up on
relatives and neighbors. Do not Forget the pets... as they need
plenty of water and shade as well.
