***A REMINDER: A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM (6/17)***

Persistent And Oppressive Heat Continues through today (Sunday). The combination of hot temperatures and humidity will produce dangerous heat conditions this weekend. Improvement is expected by Monday as a cold front drops into the state.

* TEMPERATURE…Highs generally in the low to mid 90s with dewpoints in the lower 70s, leading to heat index values of 100 to 105 degrees by this afternoon.

* IMPACTS…Lack of overnight relief from the heat will lead to additional stress. Gusty winds by this afternoon will increase the risk of dehydration. The prolonged nature of this event will compound and amplify heat-related impacts.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
