Excessive Heat Warnings & Heat Advisories Posted

The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for all of their tri-state counties beginning at 11 AM today and running through Midnight Monday night. The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued an excessive heat warning today for their tri-state counties and NWS Lincoln has issued a heat advisory for their tri-state counties from noon today through midnight Monday. Also, the National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a heat advisory for Tuesday because the heat will still be present. I would imagine the other NWS offices will issue heat advisories for the remaining tri-state counties  for Tuesday.

Bottom line, it will be a dangerous no matter what so please take precautionary actions. Some tips - Stay indoors in peak heating of the day, check up on neighbors and the elderly, and if you have to be outside for any extended period of time drink plenty of fluid and take frequent breaks
