The National Weather Service office in Paducah has extended the long-running heat advisory for the entire area, now in effect through this evening until 7 p.m.

Persistent and excessive heat and humidity are expected to develop again this afternoon. Air temperatures will peak in the lower to middle 90s. These temperatures will combine with high humidity  to produce afternoon heat index values from 100 to 105.

This prolonged period of extreme heat and humidity will continue to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible, and drink plenty of water.
