...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana has issued an
Excessive Heat Watch...which is in effect from Friday afternoon
through Saturday evening.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER...

 * Temperatures are expected to rise into the lower to mid 90s
   Friday and Saturday with heat indices from around 100 to near
   110.

 IMPACTS...

 * The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will
   likely lead to an increased risk of heat related stress and
   illness. The very young, the elderly, those without air
   conditioning, and those participating in strenuous outdoor
   activities will be the most susceptible.

  * Car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of
    minutes.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

An Excessive Heat Watch means that a prolonged period of hot
temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and
high humidity will combine to create a dangerous situation in
which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids...stay
in an air-conditioned room...stay out of the sun...and check up
on relatives and neighbors.
