Information and advice about the Heat Advisory, from our colleagues at the Warren County Emergency Management Agency.
HEAT ADVISORY: The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory, effective from 11:00 AM this morning all the way through 10:00 PM Saturday evening, for Warren and many of our neighboring counties. Quoting here from the Advisory statement:
"TIMING...Heat index values of 105 and higher are likely during the late morning through early evening Thursday through Saturday.
HEAT INDEX VALUES...Up to 109 are expected due to temperatures in the upper 90s, and dewpoints in the lower 70s.
IMPACTS...The likely combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will lead to an increased risk of heat-related stress and illness. The very young, the elderly, those without air conditioning, and those participating in strenuous outdoor activities will be the most susceptible. Also, car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes."
