...HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TODAY...
...BUT WINDS OF CHANGE ARE IN THE AIR...

A LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES TODAY...PRODUCING ANOTHER HOT AND SULTRY DAY ACROSS THE MID
STATE. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID 90S WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES
AROUND 100 DEGREES WEST OF THE PLATEAU....LOWER TO MID 90S PLATEAU.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE A TAD COOLER THURSDAY WITH MORE
CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF RAIN.

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS HEAT.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

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

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

A FEW FINAL THINGS...

NEVER...EVER...LEAVE A CHILD IN A HOT CAR FOR EVEN A MINUTE.
TEMPERATURES RISE QUICKLY INSIDE A CLOSED VEHICLE...AND CAN RAPIDLY
BECOME DEADLY.

KEEP AN EYE ON ELDERLY NEIGHBORS AND BE SURE THEY ARE COPING WELL
WITH THE HEAT.

PROVIDE PETS EXTRA WATER AND REPLACE IT OFTEN. YOU MIGHT EVEN WANT
TO BRING YOUR PETS INDOORS DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY.

THE GOOD NEWS...FOR THOSE WANTING TO SEE SOME RAIN...IS THAT THE
WINDS OF CHANGE ON THE WAY. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY OVER THE NEXT THREE TO FIVE
DAYS...ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AND THEN AGAIN NEXT
MONDAY...AS SEVERAL COLD FRONTS DROP ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. IN
FACT...THE SECOND COLD FRONT ON MONDAY IS EXPECTED TO USHER IN MUCH
MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER...WITH HIGHS DROPPING INTO THE 80S...ALONG
WITH LOWER HUMIDITIES BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
