The combination of temperature and humidity will push heat
indexes into the 105 to 110 degree range this weekend as high
pressure aloft continues to build. Meanwhile... low temperatures
in the mid to upper 70s will provide little relief from the
heat.
An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged 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.
