...HOT AND HUMID THIS AFTERNOON...

Temperatures this afternoon and into the early evening will reach
the upper 80s to low 90s across the forecast area. This, combined
with high humidity, will result in heat indices ranging from the
middle 90s to near 100 degrees for some locales.

Try to limit time outdoors this afternoon when heat illness is
most likely to occur. If going outdoors, make sure to drink plenty
of fluids and take breaks out of the sun.
