ALT Heat can escalate quickly. Warm temperatures can quickly become dangerous. Heat is one of the most deadly weather hazards - don't underestimate it. Never leave people or pets alone in a car. Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Spend time in air conditioning and in the shade.
ALT Temperatures in the mid to upper 90s return heading into the weekend, with heat index values approaching 105-112 degrees. Heat Advisories will likely be needed. We encourage folks to stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, and use/get air conditioning as fans may not be adequate enough!
ALT Dont' forget anyone in a hot car. Everyone operates on auto-pilot once in a while. Have a plan! Place a bag or other item in the backseat to remind you of passengers after you park. Place a stuffed animal in the front seat as a reminder to check for passengers. Consider additional methods such as phone alarms, partner/buddy check-ins, or built-in car reminder systems.
ALT Helping Others: Extreme Heat. Never leave anyone (or pets) alone in a locked car. Monitor others exercising or playing sports, ensuring frequent breaks. Bring water to outdoor activities to keep everyone hydrated.
ALT Graphic showing the Heat Risk for Thursday and Friday. Will see a moderate to major risk across our area Thursday, with major risk becoming more widespread by Friday. As such, we encourage folks to stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, and use/get air conditioning as fans may not be adequate enough!
