Cooling Centers Available to Public on July 27 during Extreme Heat

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Friday, July 27 from noon until 7 PM.  The heat index is expected to be around 105 to 108 due to temperatures in the mid 90s.

 
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check in on relatives and neighbors.
