... Heat advisory remains in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening...
Hot and humid conditions will combine to produce heat indices between 105 and 111 degrees this afternoon. This advisory may need to be extended into Saturday for portions of southeast Texas. The heat index must be forecast to fall below 105 degrees before the advisory is cancelled. This may occur for some... but not all... locations on Saturday.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
If you plan to be outside... avoid prolonged exposure or strenuous physical activity. Your body can lose up to a gallon of water an hour through perspiration. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can increase the rate of water loss in your body... increasing the risk of heat exhaustion or stroke. Wear lightweight... light-colored... loose- fitting clothing. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun... and use a sunscreen to reduce possible sunburn.
