HEAT ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 9 PM CDT FRIDAY.
A COMBINATION OF SLIGHTLY HOTTER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES AND A LITTLE
MORE MOISTURE FLOWING INTO THE REGION FROM THE GULF WILL LEAD TO

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE HEAT ON ACROSS TEXAS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE HEAT ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED

YOUR BODY CAN LOSE UP TO A GALLON OF WATER AN HOUR THROUGH
PERSPIRATION. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS TO AVOID DEHYDRATION.

LOSS IN YOUR BODY...INCREASING THE RISK OF HEAT EXHAUSTION OR
STROKE. WEAR LIGHTWEIGHT...LIGHT- COLORED...LOOSE-FITTING
CLOTHING. WEAR A HAT TO SHIELD YOURSELF FROM THE SUN. ALWAYS USE A
SUNSCREEN TO REDUCE POSSIBLE SUNBURN. IF CHILDREN WILL BE OUTDOORS

A SHARP EYE FOR SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION.
PETS CAN ALSO SUCCUMB TO THE EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT. INSURE
PETS HAVE ADEQUATE DRINKING WATER AND A SHADY PLACE TO REST. DO

MEASURE OF HOW HOT IT FEELS WHEN THE EFFECTS OF HUMIDITY ARE
COMBINED WITH THE TEMPERATURE. A HEAT INDEX OF 105 DEGREES IS
CONSIDERED THE LEVEL WHERE MANY PEOPLE BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE EXTREME
DISCOMFORT OR PHYSICAL STRESS.

And to think we are in this pattern until mid-week of the upcoming week. No wonder I am running 45 miles a week on my treadmill. I will not die out there. Goodness.
