SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
408 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005

...HEAT INDEX WILL REMAIN HIGH TONIGHT AND MONDAY...

WARM MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FUNNEL INTO THE REGION
TONIGHT...RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE 80 DEGREES
UNTIL JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REMAIN
IN THE LOW TO MID 80S THROUGH MIDNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES
OVERNIGHT WILL ONLY DROP TO THE UPPER 60S TO EVEN LOW 70S...
RESULTING IN MUGGY CONDITIONS PERSISTING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING SPOTTY RELIEF OVERNIGHT.

THE HEAT INDEX IS A WAY OF ASSESSING HOW IT ACTUALLY FEELS OUTSIDE BY
COMBINING THE EFFECTS OF THE TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT.

FOR MONDAY...THERE WILL BE A LITTLE RELIEF TO THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES...WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM KEEPING
HIGH TEMPERATURES BELOW 90 DEGREES.

THIS FIRST SHOT OF HOT AND STICKY WEATHER CAN BE ESPECIALLY
HARD ON THE HUMAN BODY SINCE IT HAS NOT YET ACCLIMATED TO THE SUMMER
TEMPERATURE REGIME.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE OHIO VALLEY HAS JUST
EXPERIENCED A COOL MONTH OF MAY WHERE THE MEAN TEMPERATURE WAS NEARLY
4 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH.

BELOW ARE SOME HEAT RELATED SAFETY TIPS TO HELP COPE WITH THIS WARM
SPELL:

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

WEAR LOOSE...LIGHTWEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHES.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU USE YOUR FANS.  A FAN POINTED DIRECTLY AT
PERSON MAY DEHYDRATE THE PERSON BY REMOVING MOISTURE FROM THE SKIN.
USE A CIRCULATING FAN INSTEAD TO MOVE AIR THROUGH THE ROOM.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN AND PETS UNATTENDED IN A CLOSED VEHICLE.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND.  CHECK ON THOSE WHO MAY BE AT HIGH
RISK FOR HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS.

INDIVIDUALS ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND HEART MEDICATIONS SHOULD CHECK
WITH THEIR DOCTOR TO SEE IF THE HEAT PUTS THEM AT INCREASED RISK.
