The combination of expected temperature and dew point values will result in maximum Heat Index values between 105 and 109 degrees inclusive this afternoon over the Southern Coastal Plains and over the Brush Country. Maximum Heat Index values around 110 degrees may occur briefly over some locations within the Southern Coastal Plains. Conditions will improve this evening as temperatures decrease. Residents with outdoor activities planned are urged to drink plenty of water, wear light weight and light colored clothing and take frequent breaks from the heat.
