* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Record setting high temperatures are quite
possible through today, with maximum heat indices of 95 to near
100 degrees during peak heating this afternoon. Given the
intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we

greater if precautions are not taken. Showers and some
thunderstorms arrive Wednesday afternoon and evening which will
break this early season heat.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
