...THE HEAT IS ON FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS...

THE HOTTEST WEATHER SO FAR THIS YEAR IS EXPECTED ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS
WEST OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA
AND SOUTHEAST MIDDLE TENNESSEE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE
LOW TO MID 90S EACH DAY THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH
HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 96 AND 101 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON.

TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. STAY IN SHADED AREAS IF POSSIBLE AND STAY HYDRATED WITH
WATER OR HYDRATING SPORTS DRINKS TO DECREASE THE RISK OF HEAT
EXHAUSTION AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY HEAT STROKE.

AVOID ALCOHOL, AS IT LOWERS THE BODIES TOLERANCE FOR HEAT AND
ACTS AS A DIURETIC, MEANING IT SPEEDS UP DEHYDRATION, AND AFFECTS
THE BODIES ABILITY TO REGULATE ITS TEMPERATURE, ALONG WITH ALSO
RAISING THE BODY'S BLOOD PRESSURE. SOME MEDICATIONS ARE ALSO
SENSITIVE TO HEAT. BOTH ALCOHOL AND, OR PARTICULAR HEAT SENSITIVE
MEDICATION CONSUMPTION, COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF HEAT RELATED
ILLNESSES.

WEAR LIGHT CLOTHING, WEAR SUNSCREEN WHILE OUTDOORS, AND IF YOU
NEED TO WORK OUTDOORS, DO THAT IN THE EARLY MORNING AND EVENING
HOURS. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY, HANDICAPPED, HOMELESS, AND PETS
ALSO. IF YOU ARE OUT DRIVING, BEFORE LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE, REMEMBER
TO CHECK YOUR BACKSEAT TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE NOT LEAVING CHILDREN
AND PETS IN YOUR CAR, AS TEMPERATURES IN A LOCKED CAR, WITH ALL
WINDOWS ROLLED UP, CAN QUICKLY RISE TO DEADLY LEVELS. MORE HEAT
SAFETY GUIDELINES CAN BE FOUND AT WEATHER.GOV/HEAT.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR WEATHER.GOV/NASHVILLE, NOAA WEATHER
RADIO, LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS, AND THE INTERNET FOR THE LATEST ON
THESE HOT TEMPERATURES.
