...HEAT INDEX VALUES OF NEAR 100 DEGREES IS EXPECTED FOR YOUR
TUESDAY...

SUMMERTIME WILL BE IN FULL SWING ACROSS THE MID STATE ON TUESDAY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE LOWER TO MID 90S FOR
MANY AREAS. MAKING CONDITIONS MORE UNCOMFORTABLE WILL BE THE
HUMIDITY LEVELS...WHICH AT A MINIMUM WILL DROP TO NO LOWER THAN 40
TO 45 PERCENT. THIS WILL EQUATE TO HEAT INDEX VALUES OF NEAR 100
DEGREES TO THE WEST OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON.

AS THE SUMMER ROLLS ALONG IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP HOT WEATHER
SAFETY RULES IN MIND.

NEVER...EVER...EVER LEAVE A PERSON OR ANIMAL IN A CLOSED CAR FOR
EVEN A FEW MINUTES. TEMPERATURES INSIDE A VEHICLE ON A SUMMER DAY
CAN HEAT QUICKLY TO DEADLY LEVELS.

CHECK ON ELDERLY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO BE SURE THEY ARE COPING
WELL WITH THE HEAT.

IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD AN AIR CONDITIONER....GO TO A LIBRARY...STORE...
OR OTHER LOCATION WITH AIR CONDITIONING FOR PART OF THE DAY.

IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTDOORS DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE
DAY...TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS...AND DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC AND
DECAFFEINATED FLUIDS. IF POSSIBLE...RESCHEDULE ACTIVITIES TO A
COOLER PART OF THE DAY.

WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT...LIGHT COLORED...CLOTHING TO REFLECT HEAT AND
SUNLIGHT.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY...AND BE AWARE OF THE WARNING SIGNS FOR HEAT
CRAMPS...HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE.

AND LASTLY...TAKE IT EASY...BETTER TO SUBSTITUTE A LAWN CHAIR IN THE
SHADE IN PLACE OF THAT LAWN MOWER IN THE SUN.
