... Heat advisory in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening...

The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening.

The combination of high temperatures and increased humidity will
generate heat index values of at least 108 degrees across the

south central Louisiana this afternoon. These heat indices will
lower to less than dangerous levels by the early evening.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is

will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned
room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and
neighbors.
