Heat Impacts:

• The combination of afternoon heat index readings 113F degrees and morning lows remaining well above normal will provide little if any relief for the body to cool for those without access to air conditioning or cooling centers.
• Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children, the elderly, and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstance.
