...A HOT WEEKEND TO START SUMMER...

THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR SO FAR ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS THE MID
STATE...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES TOPPING 100 AT TIMES.

THE EXPECTED HIGH FOR FRIDAY IN NASHVILLE IS ABOUT 96 DEGREES. THE
NORMAL HIGH IS 86...AND THE RECORD HIGH IS 100 DEGREES. AT
CROSSVILLE...WE EXPECT A HIGH AROUND 90...WHICH WOULD BREAK THE
PREVIOUS RECORD OF 89 SET IN 1994. THE NORMAL HIGH FOR CROSSVILLE
IS 81.

TEMPERATURES LAST HIT THE MID 90S IN AUGUST 2008. IT HAS BEEN A
WHILE...SO IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO REVIEW SOME HEAT SAFETY RULES.

THE ELDERLY...SMALL CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH CERTAIN HEALTH
CONCERNS ARE MOST AT RISK DURING HOT WEATHER.

STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE REDUCED OR RESCHEDULED FOR THE
COOLER PARTS OF THE DAY.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING IS BEST.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

AVOID PROLONGED SUN EXPOSURE AND SUNBURN.

STAY IN AIR CONDITIONED PLACES IF POSSIBLE.

THIS WARM WEATHER ARRIVES RIGHT ON TIME. THE OFFICIAL START OF THE
SUMMER SEASON WILL BE SUNDAY...JUNE 21...AT 1245 AM CDT.
