One more day… and then, a respite from 90 degree temperatures.
A heat advisory remains in effect through 8 o’clock this evening, Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022.
The heat index will reach 100 to 104, according to the National Weather Service. It advises:
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned location, stay
out of the sun when possible, and check on elderly relatives and
neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended
in a vehicle under any circumstance.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or late
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. To reduce
your risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in a
shaded or air conditioned environment. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
Thunderstorms are likely overnight. And then, daytime temperatures are expected to dip into the chilly 80s for the next few days. Bundle up!
