...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS
EVENING...
...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 PM CDT
SUNDAY...

* WHAT...For the Excessive Heat Warning, dangerously hot 
  conditions with heat index values up to 111. For the Heat 
  Advisory, heat index values up to 109 expected.

* WHERE...Portions of southwest Alabama, northwest Florida and 
  southeast Mississippi.

* WHEN...For the Excessive Heat Warning, until 7 PM CDT this 
  evening. For the Heat Advisory, from 7 PM this evening to 7 PM 
  CDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Extreme heat and humidity will significantly 
  increase the potential for heat related illnesses, 
  particularly for those working or participating in outdoor 
  activities.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heat indices have already climbed into the
  108 to 112 range across most of the area and will only climb
  more this afternoon. For the heat advisory on Sunday, mid-
  morning and early afternoon heat indices will climb into the 
  105 to 110 range. Higher rain chances could limit widespread 
  advisory criteria; however, many locations will still be hot 
  with high heat stress given the duration of the current heat 
  wave. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out
of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young
children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when
possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent
rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone
overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.
