...EXTREME CAUTION ADVISED FOR HEAT AND HUMIDITY THIS WEEKEND...

ALTHOUGH RECORD TEMPS APPEAR UNLIKELY...HIGHS EACH DAY THROUGH

MID 70S. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE HIGH...AND THIS WILL MAKE IT FEEL
EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE. THE HEAT INDEX EACH AFTERNOON WILL BE AROUND
100.

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL POSE A
RISK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LIGHTNING IS A DANGER WITH ALL
THUNDERSTORMS. ALSO...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY STRONG
WINDS. IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH...SEEK SHELTER. EVENT ORGANIZERS
SHOULD HAVE PLANS IN PLACE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE STORMS.
