...HEAT INDICES NEAR 105 POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

Hot and humid conditions are expected this afternoon. High
temperatures in the lower to middle 90s, combined with very muggy
dew point temperatures in the 70s, will produce heat index values
near 105 degrees or slightly higher.

If you must work outside, take extra precautions to prevent heat
exhaustion. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Drink plenty of water, and take frequent rest breaks.
