A heat advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CDT this evening
southern coastal Bend... portions of the brush country... and
portions of the Rio Grande plains.
Very hot temperatures this afternoon and higher dewpoints behind
the sea-breeze will produce heat indices between 110 and
114 degrees across portions of south Texas. The heat index values
are likely to occur between 1 PM and 5 PM.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Children... the elderly and people with chronic ailments are
usually the first to suffer from the heat. Heat exhaustion...
cramps or in extreme cases heat stroke can result from prolonged
exposure to these conditions. Friends... relatives or neighbors
should check on people who may be at risk. Young children and
pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any
circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather
when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of
minutes.
If you must be outside... reduce your activities... drink plenty of
water... take frequent breaks and wear light colored clothing.
