Warnings and Notices

	Heat Advisory
Statement as of 8:56 PM CDT on July 04, 2009 ... Heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday... A heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday. Unusually hot conditions are expected again on Sunday. Afternoon heat indicies from 102 to 106 degrees will be common across the area throughout the afternoon and some areas may reach the 107 to 109 mark.

Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can increase the rate of water loss in your body... increasing the risk of heat exhaustion or stroke. Wear lightweight... light-colored... loose- fitting clothing. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun... and use a sunscreen to reduce possible sunburn.
