6/13 – Britt’s “Heat Advisory” Monday Afternoon Forecast

Today, look for the heat to continue with possibly a rogue storm or two near the coast. Hot temperatures and high humidity will be the main focus of today’s forecast.

A HEAT ADVISORY will be in affect from 10AM through 7PM. Expect Heat Index values up to 109 degrees.

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 9 1 1.

LONG TERM…Medium range ensemble means continue to be a fairly good agreement. With that the hot and mostly dry weather is expected to continue into next weekend.
