It looks as though some counties in our area will be getting a bit of heat relief on Sunday, as several have been dropped from earlier issued heat advisories by the National Weather Service (NWS).
According to NWS, a heat advisory in effect from 1-9 p.m. Sunday includes Jewell and Mitchell counties. The heat index is expected to be 100 to 105 degrees in these counties, with the highest heat index values between 2-7 p.m.
Additionally, Clay, Cloud, and Republic counties remain in a heat advisory from 1-8 p.m. Sunday, as heat index values are expected to climb to 100 to 105 degrees.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke will be more likely for those that do not take appropriate precautions or those who are more susceptible to heat, such as young children and elderly.. Pets and livestock will also be impacted by the heat. Measures should be taken for animal safety and comfort.
