Hot and humid weather will prevail for the next several days. The hottest days will be Friday and Saturday when air temperatures climb into the middle to upper 90s and afternoon heat index values peak at 100 to 105 degrees. A cold front will bring relief from the heat by Sunday. 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. $$ Barnes
