... Record heat this Holiday weekend...
The hot Memorial Day weekend will continue... with record or near
record high temperatures in the mid and upper 90s likely in most
locations. Due to a lack of moisture... heat index values should stay
close to the actual air temperatures... generally in the upper 90s
to near 100 degrees. This will be the hottest air this area has seen
so far this year. The last time it was this hot... was back in the
early part of September 2011.
People should be prepared to deal with the effects of this
prolonged period of hot weather. Follow the basic rules of heat
safety to keep from becoming overheated. Drink plenty of
water... wear light colored... light weight clothing... and avoid
strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day. Take
frequent breaks and be sure to put on a high spf sunscreen to
limit the potential for sunburn. Make sure pets have plenty of
fresh water.
In addition... with moderate to severe drought conditions in
place... the risk of wildfires will be increased somewhat. Caution
should be exercised with any outdoor burning this weekend.
