Heat index values up to 109 degrees are possible.

A Heat Advisory will be in effect through 7 pm today across the Four State Region which will include Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest and South Central Arkansas, Northwest and North Central Louisiana and East and Northeast Texas.

The combination of hot afternoon temperatures in the middle to upper 90s and humid conditions will result in Heat Indices of 105-109 degrees.

Heat related illnesses will become possible for those involved in outdoor work and activities, especially when in direct sunlight.

Remember if you must be outdoors, drink plenty of water, take more frequent breaks in the shade, and wear loose fitting and light weight clothing.
