...High heat index values expected for the end of the week and into
the upcoming weekend...

High heat index values generally in a 103 to 109 degree range can
be expected for the end of the week and into the upcoming weekend.
Heat advisories might be needed.

Whether or not heat advisories are issued, you need to protect yourself
and others from the impacts of the heat. If outside, stay hydrated
and take breaks in the shade as often as possible. Limit strenuous
activities. If driving, never leave kids, pets or anyone with limited
mobility alone in a vehicle for even a few minutes as rapidly rising
temperatures could reach dangerous or even deadly levels. Remember to
look before you lock! Know the signs of heat stress and seek medical
attention if you suspect that you or someone else is experiencing
heat illness.
