BOONE, Iowa—Once again, the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory affecting the KWBG listening area from late Sunday morning until Sunday evening.  Be Safe!

...Hot And Humid Conditions Persist Today...

.Heat and humidity will continue and expand across across all of
Iowa today. Little recovery from the heat has occurred overnight,
with temperatures only falling into the 75 to 80 degree range
early this morning before rising back into the 90s today.


...HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 9 PM
CDT THIS EVENING...

* TEMPERATURE...Highs in the low to mid 90s, with peak heat index
  values around 105 degrees.

* IMPACTS...Heat illnesses are possible for those active
  outdoors, in homes without air conditioning, or those
  susceptible to heat illnesses such as children and the
  elderly.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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 up on relatives and
neighbors.

  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 light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

  To reduce risk during outdoor work, the occupational safety
and health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest
breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome
by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.   Heat
stroke is an emergency, call 9 1 1.
