HEAT ADVISORY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
430 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 1997

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR
WEDNESDAY FOR THE SANDHILLS...COASTAL PLAIN...AND CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
COASTAL AREAS...TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES:

IN NORTH CAROLINA:

BEAUFORT BERTIE BLADEN
CAMDEN CHOWAN COLUMBUS
CRAVEN CUMBERLAND DUPLIN
EDGECOMBE GATES GREENE
HALIFAX HARNETT HERTFORD
JOHNSTON JONES LENOIR
MAINLAND CURRITUCK MAINLAND DARE MAINLAND HYDE
MARTIN NASH NORTHHAMPTON
PAMLICO PASQUOTANK PERQUIMANS
PITT ROBESON SAMPSON
TYRRELL WASHINGTON WAYNE
WILSON

A BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ESTABLISHED AND
BUILD OVER THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY. IN ADDITION TO TEMPERATURES RISING
WELL INTO THE 90S...A FLOW OF AIR OFF THE SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC WILL
INCREASE HUMIDITY LEVELS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS IS LIKELY TO
PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE 105 TO 110 RANGE OVER A LARGE PORTION
OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY.

THE HEAT INDEX IS A MEASURE OF THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY ON THE HUMAN BODY. HEAT INDICES OF
AROUND 105 OR MORE CAN LEAD TO HEAT CRAMPS...HEAT EXHAUSTION...AND
POSSIBLY SUNSTROKE.

PEOPLE IN THE ADVISORY AREA OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SHOULD BE
ESPECIALLY CAREFUL TO DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...PREFERABLY WATER... TO
TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS...TO COOL OFF IN THE SHADE OR AIR CONDITIONING...
AND TO LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DURING THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE DAY.
PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY OR OTHERS WHO MAY BE AT RISK
INSIDE BUILDINGS WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING.
