...HEAT WAVE WILL INTENSIFY THROUGH FRIDAY...

HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REACH OR EXCEED 100 DEGREES THROUGH FRIDAY
IN EAST TENNESSEE PARTICULARLY FROM KNOXVILLE SOUTHWARD. A LARGE
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL STRENGTHEN
THROUGH THE WEEK. HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD AND WILL
LEAD TO SOME OF THE HOTTEST WEATHER SO FAR THIS SUMMER.

AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S
IN MANY VALLEY LOCATIONS...INCLUDING KNOXVILLE AND CHATTANOOGA AND
THE TRI-CITIES AREA. THE HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDEX VALUES CLIMBING INTO THE 100
TO 105 RANGE TODAY...APPROACHING 105 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY...AND
POSSIBLY GOING AS HIGH AS 110 IN SOME AREAS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION AND STAYING AWARE OF THE
THREAT AND TAKING APPROPRIATE ACTION WILL HELP GET THROUGH THE
DANGER.

STAY OUT OF THE SUN WHEN POSSIBLE. SLOW DOWN. ANY STRENUOUS
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE REDUCED...ELIMINATED OR RESCHEDULED TO THE
COOLEST TIME OF THE DAY. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER OR OTHER NON-
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. IF YOU HAVE LIVESTOCK OR PETS...MAKE SURE THAT
THEY ARE PROVIDED WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SHADE...WHEN POSSIBLE.
FINALLY...TAKE TIME OUT TO CHECK ON THOSE NEIGHBORS OR FAMILY
MEMBERS THAT MAY BE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO HEAT.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...COMMERCIAL RADIO AND
TELEVISION FOR ANY FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS UPCOMING PERIOD OF
DANGEROUS HEAT.

Just a heads up to everyone:


IT'S AUGUST!! In case you forgot normally the hottest time of the year.

The way July went I was beginning to wonder if we were going to have anything like this at all. Note that the temperatures this week for some may be near or break record highs. Of course those 110 "heat indices" will be in the valley locations across mainly TN. Plenty of heat advisories out to our south, west, and north, and will probably see those expand this way through the week.

I know it was hotter than a hell whore's crotch down in Morristown and Dandridge over the weekend.

And yet school seems to start back earlier and earlier, and hotter and hotter. When will we start going in September and get out in June?

[shwalker32]

granted i went to NOVA public school systems and we always started the day after labor day and got out mid june, i dont see why they dont do that here, iwill never understand that, granted they have the so called "heat" schedule in the school systems but how many much actually gets done during those few weeks that the schedules are altered, i know when it is hot out i dont feel like doing nothing let alone sit in a hot and stuffy classroom
