NWS: EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING

Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 110 expected from noon Sunday to 8 PM Monday. The hottest day is expected to be Monday. The heat wave is likely to continue beyond Monday. Humidity will increase throughout the day Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The dangerously hot conditions may continue on Tuesday and Wednesday. The warning may need to be extended. Temperatures overnight are only expected to drop into the mid 70s, so there will be little relief from the heat even through the overnight hours.

Instructions:

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when
possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent
rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone
overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.
Heat stroke is an emergency. Call 911.
