The service is warning everyone take extra precautions during the advisory: drink plenty of water, try to limit time outside and stay in an air-conditioned room if possible. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in cars in any circumstances, but it becomes especially deadly during heat waves like this.
The NWS also wants to remind residents that heat stroke is an emergency, and anyone suffering from heat stroke should not hesitate to call 911 for assistance.
