...HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE FOR THE MID STATE FOR THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...

A LARGE UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER TX WILL EXPAND EASTWARD
AND ACROSS MIDDLE TN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AS A RESULT...DAYTIME
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REACH THE UPPER 90S TUESDAY WITH
MID 90S EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND. AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX
VALUES OF 97 TO 102 DEGREES WILL BE LIKELY.

ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...LOOK FOR TEMPERATURE AND HEAT
INDEX VALUES IN GENERAL TO BE ABOUT 5 DEGREES LESS.

TEMPERATURES WILL COOL A FEW DEGREES LATE IN THE WORK WEEK AS THE
UPPER HIGH WORKS BACK TO THE WEST. TEMPERATURES HOWEVER WILL STILL
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL...IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S WEST OF THE PLATEAU.

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS UPCOMING HEAT
WAVE...ESPECIALLY IF YOU MUST SPEND MUCH OF YOUR TIME OUTDOORS.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

WEAR A HAT...AND WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING TO
HELP REFLECT THE SUNLIGHT.

TAKE FREQUENT REST BREAKS IN THE SHADE..AND TRY TO AVOID SUNBURN.

PEOPLE SHOULD KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION IN
CASE ANY HEAT ADVISORIES ARE ISSUED.
