...Hot and Humid Today...

Triple digit heat index values are expected again this afternoon
over southeast Missouri, the Purchase Area of Kentucky, and
adjacent portions of southern Illinois. The worst conditions are
expected over the Ozark Foothills, where readings could reach 110
degrees. Farther to the northeast heat index values are expected
to range from 95 to 100 degrees, but triple digit readings will be
possible throughout the region. A Heat Advisory may eventually be
issued for a portion of the region if confidence improves.

Use caution if planning to be outdoors for extended periods of
time. Take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water, and wear light
colored clothing.
