...RECORD HEAT AND HIGH FIRE DANGER THROUGH THE WEEKEND...

RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AS A
LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 100S ARE ANTICIPATED WEST OF
THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE AND CLARKSVILLE
AREAS...WHILE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S ARE FORECAST FOR
THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.

TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS IF YOU WORK OR SPEND TIME OUTSIDE. WHEN
POSSIBLE...RESCHEDULE STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES TO EARLY MORNING OR
LATE EVENING. KNOW THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND
HEAT STROKE. WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT AND LOOSE FITTED CLOTHING WHEN
POSSIBLE AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ALONG WITH OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES. AVOID TOO MUCH DIRECT SUN AND LIMIT YOUR SALT INTAKE.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS LOCKED INSIDE A
VEHICLE...EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN...AS TEMPERATURES INSIDE A
CAR CAN BECOME SUFFOCATING WHEN EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT EVEN
FOR A SHORT TIME. ALSO REMEMBER TO CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY AND
DISABLED FAMILY MEMBERS OR NEIGHBORS.

IN ADDITION...RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THE YEAR ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE
REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL...WITH ALL AREAS NOW IN A MODERATE TO
EXTREME DROUGHT. THE HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH THE UNUSUALLY
DRY CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO AN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER RISK ACROSS
THE MID STATE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. USE EXTRA CAUTION THIS WEEKEND
WITH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FIREWORKS AND OUTDOOR GRILLING...AS FIRES
COULD START AND SPREAD VERY RAPIDLY.
