...HOT AND HUMID TODAY...

Temperatures this afternoon into early evening will reach the
upper 80s to low 90s across the area. This combined with high
humidity will result in heat indices in the mid 90s up to 100
degrees in some locations.

Try to limit time outdoors today during peak heating when heat
illness is most likely to occur. If going outdoors, make sure to
drink plenty of fluids and take breaks out of the sun.
