An excessive heat warning remains in effect from 1 PM this
afternoon to 9 PM CDT Monday.
A nearly stationary front draped along the Kansas Oklahoma border
is forecast to lift slowly north as a warm front today. This will
enable temperatures to reach 100 to 105 across south-central and
southeast Kansas both today and Monday. With high humidities
taken into account... this would result in heat indices reaching
around 110 degrees in the warned areas by Monday afternoon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will create a dangerous situation
where heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids and stay
in an air-conditioned room. Stay out of the sun and check up on
relatives and neighbors. Watch your pets! Make sure they too are
kept in a cool environment and have plenty of water. Never leave
pets or children unattended in a vehicle for any duration!
