The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Heat Advisory for Wednesday, June 20, from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m. High temperatures are expected to be around the mid to upper 90s. The heat index will be between 100 and 105 degrees. The hottest times are expected to be from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. 
 
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check in on relatives and neighbors.
