...HEAT TO BE TURNED ON THIS WEEKEND...

BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CREATE A
DANGEROUS HEAT SITUATION FOR THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE MID STATE
THIS WEEKEND. DAYTIME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE READINGS IN THIS REGION
WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. THIS COMBINED WITH HIGH
HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE HEAT INDEX READINGS TO MAX OUT AT NEAR 105
DEGREES...ESPECIALLY NASHVILLE WESTWARD. THOSE OF YOU ON THE PLATEAU
WILL ESCAPE WITH READINGS MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S...NOT
QUITE AS HOT BUT STILL HOT.

WITH HEAT INDICES THIS HIGH...THE ELDERLY...CHILDREN...AND PEOPLE
WITH CHRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST TO SUFFER. HEAT
EXHAUSTION...HEAT CRAMPS...OR IN EXTREME CASES...HEAT STROKE...MAY
RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE CONDITIONS. AVOID PROLONGED
ACTIVITY OUTDOORS...AND TRY TO STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED
ENVIRONMENT. FINALLY...MAKE SURE OUTDOOR PETS HAVE PLENTY OF
WATER AND SHADE AVAILABLE.
