Heat Advisory this Weekend, May 21 - 22
looks like some rough patches on the radar heading our way in the next few hours. It seems to be moving pretty fast. It's always tough to predict where the rough patches will hit.
(My migraine detector hasn't gone off yet.)

Are we expecting some severe weather this afternoon/evening period?
Probably not. Just thunderstorms, not severe
Thank the sea breeze
Boy I cut the grass about an hour ago. It’s steamy out there. I could feel the moisture in the air. Might get some thunderstorms later on no?
I would like to take this opportunity to advise everyone that it is hot outside. I was also doing some yardwork, it is really the kind of day that’ll poach your goobers.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees
for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any
length of time.
Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health
conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air
conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.
Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that
has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members
and neighbors.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
