...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
* TEMPERATURE...Afternoon highs in the mid to upper 90s and
nighttime lows around 80 degrees.
* HEAT INDICES...Peak Heat Indices in the 105 to 110 degree
range.
* IMPACTS...Oppressive heat and humidity combined with ample
sunshine, will lead to hazardous conditions, particularly for
the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
Stifling heat is likely to linger well into the evening hours
with very little nighttime relief from the heat. This will
exacerbate the potential health impacts during this intense heat
wave. Residents of the City of Chicago can call 3...1...1...to
request well being checks for elderly friends or family members,
or for information on finding the nearest cooling center.
