High pressure continues to build across the region... allowing

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of non alcoholic... non carbonated fluids...
and stay in an air-conditioned room as much as possible. If
using fans... open windows to allow for fresh air circulation.
Stay out of the sun as much as you can... and check up on
relatives and neighbors. Do not Forget the pets... as they need
