...ELEVATED HEAT INDEX VALUES TODAY...

The combination of hot temperatures and high relative humidity
percentages will result in potentially dangerous very hot
conditions across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
this afternoon and early evening. Heat index values are expected
to range between 106 and 110 degrees with isolated areas briefly
touching heat indices of 111 or 112 degrees for a short period of
time.

If working outside today, be sure to drink plenty of water, wear
loose-fitting and light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks
in air-conditioned locations. Be sure to check on elderly and
infirm neighbors and relatives, provide shade and fresh water for
outdoor pets and livestock, and check the backseat of your vehicle
when transporting children.
