100 Degree Heat Expected! Be Careful!

Our friends in the Storm Team 3 Weather Lab tell us temperatures are likely to hit the 100 degree mark over the weekend. I'm not talking about the heat index! We're looking at heat indices around 110. You can be overcome pretty quickly by that kind of heat. Seniors and kids are especially vulnerable. Make sure to hydrate. That means water, NOT soft drinks. It's the weekend, so you may be inclined to have a few "adult beverages." Alcohol dehydrates. Have a glass of water to match each beer, or whatever you're having. If you MUST work in the yard, or go jogging, do it in the morning or evening. If it's 100 outside, it could easily be as hot as 120, even 130 in your car. Roll the windows down and crank up the A/C...seriously! Roll 'em up after you start moving. Don't even THINK about leaving a child or pet in your vehicle!
