Just take a look at those numbers above and you get the idea…It’s gonna be HOT! The humidity combined with the rising temps will bring the Heat Advisories back out today, early for this time of the year. The heat index values could rise as high as 102° to 108°. As you can see on the map above, it will be very possible for highs near the Savannah River to reach the triple digits, combined with the heat index, making for a dangerous mix. Make sure that if you are outside today, you take plenty of precautions to stay cool and hydrated. Want to know just how hot it feels outside? Take a look at the chart below and you will know:

Just remember…heat related health issues can kill. If you have been outside and don’t feel well, call 911 at once. You could be dehydrated, have heat exhaustion or be suffering from heat stroke. All require emergency treatment so take care of yourself today!

Looking elsewhere…the tropics are still quiet. There are no indications on our forecast models that development across the basin is on the way. There are a few waves here and there but conditions are not prime for storms to pop up over the next week or so. Things can always change and we will keep an eye on it for you!

Stay Cool Today!
