Heat Advisory
Statement as of 10:07 am CDT on July 9, 2009


... Heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT Friday...

Afternoon heat index values today and Friday will rise to between
105 and 110 degrees... while overnight lows tonight will struggle
to fall below 80 degrees.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during
hot weather when the inside of vehicles can reach lethal
temperatures in a matter of minutes... even if you recently used
air-conditioning... or crack windows open.

Persons involved in vigorous outdoor activities are urged to take
frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. Wear loose fitting and
light-colored clothing. Be sure to check on persons with health
problems and the elderly... as they are the most susceptible to
heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
