which is in effect from 10 AM Sunday to 8 PM EDT Monday.



* HEAT INDEX VALUES...In the upper 90s.



* TIMING...Sunday and Monday afternoon into early evening.

  risk population who cannot stay cool. The heat and humidity 

  may cause heat stress during outdoor exertion or extended 

  exposure.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and

humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees

for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and

is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
