The NWS has issued an Excessive Heat Warning from noon today 7/19/19 until 8:00pm Sunday.  The NWS says:  An Excessive Heat Warning is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 105 degrees or greater. 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.  Click the link for the latest briefing on the heat that is on the way: https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/heat.pdf


Wondering if the power companies and the authorities should be doing a better job of emphasizing various ways to limit electricity usage to minimize risk of outages.  I've received no PSAs about it.

I should point out that this is a live link that updates at 5:00pm and 6:00am every day while the warning is in effect.
