Excessive Heat Warning
Statement as of 5:00 PM PDT on September 5, 2008/

... Excessive heat warning in effect from 10 am MST /10 am PDT/ to
8 PM MST /8 PM PDT/ Saturday...

The National Weather Service in Phoenix has issued an excessive heat
warning... which is in effect from 10 am MST /10 am PDT/ to 8 PM MST
/8 PM PDT/ Saturday.

Very hot daytime highs... ranging from 111 to 115 degrees... will
occur Saturday over far southeast California and west-central
Arizona. Maximum temperatures are forecast to be 1 to 2 degrees
above what occurred today... and be near record levels for the
calendar date at several sites. Some forecast high temperatures for
Saturday include 113 at Parker... 112 at Yuma... Blythe... and
Imperial... and 111 at Bouse.

Hot conditions will occur again Sunday... though daytime highs on Sunday
are forecast to be a degree or two below what occurs Saturday... and
slightly below excessive heat warning criteria.

It would be wise to complete as much outdoor activity as possible in
the early morning when the sun and heat are less intense. During
periods of excessive heat... individuals can suffer heat-related
illness when the body can no longer cool itself.

If you plan to be outside for an extended period of time in the
afternoon or early evening... stay in the shade as much as possible
and drink abundant amounts of water. Wear light-colored and loose-
fitting clothing. If you wear a wide-brimmed hat... your head and body
will be much cooler. Stop outdoor activities... drink lots of water or
other non-alcoholic beverages... and if possible... spend more time in
air-conditioned or well-ventilated places.
