HEAT ADVISORY this weekend. 115 F on Saturday/Sunday!
Wednesday, July 08, 2009

HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NEW MEXICO WILL STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND FROM NOW THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. COMBINED WITH RELATIVELY DRY AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE THIS WILL LEAD TO EXCESSIVELY HOT TEMPERATURES BEGINNING FRIDAY AND LASTING THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE HOTTEST DAYS BEING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES OF 112 TO 117 DEGREES WILL BE COMMON ACROSS THE LOWER DESERTS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THOUGH THE HEAT OF THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES IS OFTEN CLASSIFIED AS A DRY HEAT. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE ABOVE 110 DEGREES IN THE MAJOR POPULATED DESERT AREAS OF PHOENIX, YUMA, AND EL CENTRO THIS WEEKEND. NOTE THAT THE HEAT INDEX IS A MEASURE OF HOW HOT THE AIR FEELS WHEN ACCOUNTING FOR HUMIDITY. EXACERBATING THE HEAT WAVE WILL BE OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES THAT REMAIN IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN ON MONDAY ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO EASE SOME.

EXPOSURE TO TEMPERATURES THIS WARM CAN BE UNHEALTHY AND DANGEROUS TO YOUR WELL BEING EVEN DURING SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. ESPECIALLY IF STRENUOUS ACTIVITY IS INVOLVED. IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS ALWAYS REMEMBER TO REMAIN HYDRATED BY DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER NOT ONLY WHILE OUTSIDE BUT PRIOR TO BEING OUTDOORS. WHEN POSSIBLE CHECK ON THOSE THAT NEED ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE SUCH AS YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY. REMEMBER THAT PETS/ANIMALS CAN ALSO SUCCUMB TO THE HEAT.
