... Heat advisory in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday...
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect until 7 PM CDT Sunday.
Upper level high pressure will remain anchored over North Texas
this weekend. As a result... high temperatures will be 100 to 104
degrees Friday through Sunday. With the humidity... peak afternoon
heat index values will reach or exceed 105 degrees. The heat will
not abate at night... with overnight lows in the upper 70s.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during
hot weather when the inside of vehicles can reach lethal
temperatures in a matter of minutes... despite cracking windows or
previously having used air-conditioning.
Persons involved in vigorous outdoor activities are urged to take
frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. Wear loose fitting and
light-colored clothing. Be sure to check on persons with health
problems and the elderly... as they are the most susceptible to
heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
