...UNCOMFORTABLY HOT CONDITIONS TODAY...

The combination of well above normal high temperatures and
relative humidity percentages will result in uncomfortably hot
conditions across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
today. Heat index values are expected to range between 105 and
110 degrees this afternoon and early evening. Isolated areas
may briefly experience heat indices of 111 degrees for a short
period of time.

If working outside today, be sure to drink plenty of water, wear
loose-fitting and light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks
in air-conditioned locations. Be sure to check on elderly and
infirm neighbors and relatives, provide shade and fresh water for
outdoor pets and livestock, and check the backseat of your vehicle
when transporting children.
