...Hot Conditions Expected Through Friday...

High temperatures will reach the 90s for locations below 2500
elevation this afternoon and Thursday afternoon, with heat
index values peaking at or just above 100 degrees for many
locations. The hot conditions may extend through Friday, though
this is lower confidence due to possible clouds and potential
shower and thunderstorm activity.

Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. If possible, limit
strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Those with
outdoor activities during the afternoon to early evening should
drink plenty of fluids and take frequent breaks. Stay in an air-
conditioned room as much as possible, limit time in direct
sunlight, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
