Excessive Heat Warning
Statement as of 2:43 PM PDT on July 8, 2008


... Excessive heat warning in effect until 11 am PDT Friday...
... Heat advisory no longer in effect...

As a strong ridge of high pressure remains overhead hot weather
is expected to continue across most of the interior portions of the
Monterey and San Francisco Bay regions. Highs in many areas for
Wednesday and Thursday will be at or above 100 degrees while
overnight lows in many places will only cool into the mid 70s. The
combination of the very hot daytime temperatures and warm
conditions at night will make for dangerous conditions. Some relief
is expected by Friday afternoon as slightly cooler weather returns
to the area.

An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. This excessive heat
warning is being issued utilizing a new heat health warning
system. It is specific to the areas included. It is targeted at
the elderly... or infirmed... who might be much more sensitive to
heat and thus at greater risk. Individuals who fall into this
category should be especially careful by drinking plenty of
water... reducing outdoor exposure... staying out of the sun...
seeking a cooler location for the day if no air conditioning is
available in the living quarters... and/or asking a friend or
relative to check on you frequently. For more preparedness tips
