A heat advisory has been issued for certain areas of north central and northwest Louisiana, as well as east and northeast Texas. The advisory is in effect from 11 AM to 8 PM CDT on Monday, with heat index values expected to reach up to 109 degrees.

The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity may lead to heat-related illnesses, so it is important to take precautions. It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors to ensure their well-being.
