...Near Record Breaking Temperatures Expected Today...
A generally dry and stable airmass in place over Deep South Texas
today will allow for plenty of sunshine across the region today.
This will drive the afternoon high temperatures up to near record
breaking levels for the Rio Grande Valley.
Elevated surface humidity levels will also combine with the
record breaking temperature values to produce afternoon heat index
readings reaching into the 102 to 106 range.
Drink plenty of water...before you get thirsty. Wear lightweight
and light colored clothing. Reserve strenuous exercise for early
morning or evening hours. Stay in air conditioned locations if
possible.
