Excessive Heat Watch
Statement as of 2:58 PM MST on May 17, 2008/


... Excessive heat watch in effect from Monday afternoon through
Monday evening...

The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued an excessive
heat watch... which is in effect from Monday afternoon through
Monday evening.

A high pressure system building into the Desert Southwest will
bring temperatures 15 degrees or more above normal levels. High
temperatures are expected to be 106 in Las Vegas and
Barstow... between 108 and 112 in Laughlin... Lake Havasu
City... Needles and Bullhead City... between 113 and 117 in the Lake
Mead Recreation Area... and 118 in Death Valley.

Although temperatures this high are common later in the Summer
months... it will seem warmer now as residents and tourists are
not yet acclimated to these temperatures. This will be the first
occurrence of triple digit high temperatures for many locations.

An excessive heat watch means that a period of hot temperatures
is expected. The hot temperatures will create a dangerous
situation in which heat-related illnesses are possible. Remember
to drink plenty of water... stay out of the sunshine and in an
air-conditioned room if possible and check up on elderly
relatives and neighbors.
