Hot and humid conditions with near record temperatures will be in place over much of Iowa today. Heat Indices will reach 95 to 105 degrees in the afternoon. Though these conditions are not considered life threatening to most, the uncomfortable weather will require that special attention be paid by persons who live in metropolitan areas where Heat Island effects are most common, and to persons who are more susceptible to heat related health problems, especially the elderly or those who have preexisting health problems.
If you plan on working or being outdoors today, make sure that you drink plenty of water, wear loose fitting and light colored clothes, rest when you feel the need to take a break, and seek shade from time to time to cool off. Also remember to check on the elderly and make sure that pets have adequate sources of water and shelter to prevent heat stress.

Iowans who want to keep close tabs on weather warnings may now be able to get them on their cellular phones, beginning today (Monday).
The nation’s emergency alert system is starting a new program this week. Al Kenyan, a project manager with FEMA, says people need to check with their cell phone carrier to see if it’s an option to receive these potentially-life-saving alerts. “It’s similar to a text message but it’s not a text message,” Kenyan says. “You need to have probably a newer handset or a handset that has the capability to receive these messages.”
Kenyan says it’s part of a larger effort to modernize the emergency warning system. The wireless weather alerts will let you know about things like severe thunderstorms or tornado warnings. He says Iowans should take those warnings seriously.”When (people) get an alert, whether it’s from wireless emergency alerts or from the radio station they’re listening to or a television station, take action on it,” Kenyan says. “We’ve had cases where people have been alerted to a tornado warning and they said, ‘Well, that’s interesting,’ and they didn’t take action and they get hurt. That’s a very bad thing.”
The new program is through a partnership between FEMA, the FCC, the National Weather Service and cellphone carriers.
