...ELEVATED TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS...
Hot and humid conditions are expected again this afternoon
through early evening across portions of South Central Texas.
Afternoon heat index values of 102 to 107 degrees are expected off
the Hill Country, with isolated spots reaching 108 to 110 east of
I-35.
Take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the heat.
To avoid heat related illnesses it is recommended to reduce,
eliminate, or reschedule strenuous outdoor activities to the
coolest times of the day. If you must be outside, take frequent
breaks preferably in an air conditioned area and stay hydrated by
drinking plenty of water. Children, elderly, and pets should never
be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is
especially true during hot weather when car interiors can reach
lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. Look before you lock!
