  • ...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!
