[Weather] [2019.07.18 PM] Excessive Heat/Humidity Begins Friday and Peaks This Weekend

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good afternoon everyone,

Excessive heat and humidity arrives Friday and peaks this weekend.  Heat
index values will approach or even exceed 110 degrees in some locations
Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  This is dangerous heat and humidity and
relatively rare for this part of the country. We have attached an image of
the Heat Headlines issued along with the maximum heat index values
anticipated Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  It is not only heat during the
day, but the lack of cooling at night which will be problematic.
Fortunately, much cooler air arrives Monday.
