...ESPECIALLY HOT AND HUMID THIS AFTERNOON...
HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 102 AND 105 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE EXCEPT FOR PARTS OF THE PLATEAU REGION WHERE READINGS WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING SOME RELIEF TO A FEW AREAS BUT OTHERWISE IT WILL BE ESPECIALLY HOT MUCH OF TODAY.
IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTDOORS THIS AFTERNOON...HOT WEATHER SAFETY SHOULD BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR PLANNING. IF POSSIBLE...LIMIT YOUR TIME IN THE HEAT AND BE SURE TO DRINK ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP YOUR BODY HYDRATED. ALSO...REMEMBER THAT CAR INTERIORS CAN BECOME LETHAL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
