THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN OLNEY HAS ISSUED AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS ALSO IN EFFECT ON MONDAY.

WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO

THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY... ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHLY URBANIZED
AREAS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT MAY NOT
DROP BELOW THE LOWER TO MID 70S... PARTICULARLY IN THE HIGHLY
URBANIZED AREAS.
ON MONDAY, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE MID 90S
WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 100 DEGREES. HOWEVER, SINCE MONDAY
IS A FEW DAYS AWAY AND CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE, AN EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH HAS BEEN CONTINUED. IF CONDITIONS DEVELOP AS EXPECTED, THEN
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WOULD BE NEEDED ON MONDAY AS WELL.
THIS IS THE FIRST EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER THIS
SEASON. AS A RESULT... THE FOLLOWING IS A REVIEW OF SOME HEAT
RELATED SAFETY TIPS. DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS... WEAR
LIGHT COLORED AND LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING... STAY OUT OF THE
