Tri-State Heat Wave

Hello readers!

I won't be bringing you any events happening this weekend, however, I would like to take a moment to advise you of the heat wave condition in the Tri-State area. As you may have noticed, the mercury has been flirting with ninety-five degrees for the past two days. What better time for this than the time of year that we are expected to attend the graduation ceremonies of our many beloved family members and friends? The answer: any time is better. Heat of this extent is dangerous and can be, due to a lack of proper precautions, deadly. It is very important that you drink plenty of water, for the sugar in sodas and juice also contribute to dehydration along with caffeine. To avoid the situation entirely, remain indoors in a climate controlled environment ; if activity outside is necessary, see that it's done at dusk or during the evening. If one must be outside during the day, see that you apply UVA/UVB sunblock and reapply often.

This heat is not to be taken lightly. Thunderstorms are to be expected Friday evening that will put an end to the heat wave and will bring us temperatures in the low and mid eighties; until then, stay smart, stay cool.
