Heat Advisory
Statement as of 8:51 am CDT on July 4, 2009 |
... Heat advisory in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening...
The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a heat advisory... which is in effect until 7 PM CDT this evening.
Unusually hot conditions expected today. Afternoon heat indicies from 102 to 107 degrees will be common across the area throughout the afternoon and some areas may reach the 108 to 109 mark.
This advisory may be extended for tomorrow as the strong ridge of high pressure remains in place.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
If you plan to be outside... avoid prolonged exposure or strenuous physical activity. Your body can lose up to a gallon of water an hour through perspiration. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can increase the rate of water loss in your body... increasing the risk of heat exhaustion or stroke. Wear lightweight... light-colored... loose- fitting clothing. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun... and use a sunscreen to reduce possible sunburn.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:44 am CDT on July 4, 2009 |
... Near record high temperatures expected over the Holiday weekend...
Hot afternoons are in store for southeast Texas over the Fourth of July weekend as strong upper level high pressure builds across the area. Afternoon high temperatures each day will be near or above record levels at many locations. Heat index values will peak in a 102 to 107 range with a few spots equaling or exceeding 108. A heat advisory might be needed.
Those venturing outside both today and on Sunday should prepare themselves for the intense heat. Use light weight and light colored clothing. Try to avoid prolonged outdoor activity during the hottest time of the day. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Make sure indoor locations are properly air conditioned. Make sure both the Young and the elderly are safe... and that the pets have shade and plenty of water.
Heat relief is expected to come next week. The strong upper level high pressure system will weaken and drift westward. Both decreasing afternoon high temperatures and increasing rain chances can be expected.
