A Heat Advisory, by definition, is issued when the Heat index value is expected to be between 105 and 110 degrees for two or more consecutive days. We have had temps just over 100 for the past few days…but the humidity has been on the low side. Even though we are “only” forecasting highs in the upper 90s, the humidity is higher. This will cause the heat index values to be higher, thereby reaching the criteria for a heat advisory today and tomorrow…and also on Saturday. On these days the risk for heat related ilness increases. A great day to stay indoors and play your favorite board game with the kids!
