WarningSum:...Heat Advisory Remains In Effect Until 6 Pm Edt This Evening...

Warning Message:A heat advisory remains in effect until 6 PM EDT this evening. 
Temperatures will rise into the 90s across most of Maine and New
Hampshire this afternoon...with moderate to high humidity levels
helping to raise heat index values to near 100 degrees. A sea
breeze will likely cool temperatures down a bit near the coast
this afternoon...but inland locations will continue to see
temperatures rise into the mid to upper 90s this afternoon. The
high heat and humidity combined with the long duration of the
current heat wave will make conditions uncomfortable and
potentially dangerous especially in hot buildings without air
conditioning or proper ventilation.
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of fluids...stay in an air-conditioned
room...stay out of the sun...and check up on relatives and
neighbors.
