...Hot Conditions Expected Through Friday...

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

It is recommended you take proper precautions to protect yourself
and loved ones from the heat. 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.
