...EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO THIS
WEEKEND...

An extended period of hot and humid conditions is expected across
central and southeast Illinois into this weekend. Daily high
temperatures will be in the upper 80s to mid 90s today through
Sunday, with afternoon heat indices peaking in the mid 90s to near
100 degrees. Heat indices could even top 100 degrees Friday and
Saturday afternoon. This high heat and humidity lasting for several
days may be hazardous for sensitive and vulnerable populations.

If working outside this week, 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 those most
vulnerable to the heat, including children and the elderly, provide
shade and fresh water for outdoor pets and livestock, and check the
backseat of your vehicle when transporting children.
