Latest official-source information
The combination of hot temperatures and elevated humidity levels
will produce heat index values between 108 and 111 degrees for
several hours Friday afternoon into Friday evening. A few
locations may briefly experience heat index values above 111
degrees.
If you plan to spend time outside, drink plenty of water, wear
light weight and light colored clothing and take frequent breaks
from the heat. Young children and pets should never be left
unattended in vehicles.
