High pressure aloft will be displaced after today as a series of disturbances ride around the eastern periphery allowing a cold front to move into the four state region on Sunday. Cloud cover along with increasing rain chances will provide cooler temperatures.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
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. Be sure to drink plenty of non alcoholic fluids... stay in air conditioned rooms as much as possible. Stay out of the sun as much as you can... and check on relatives and neighbors. Do not Forget your pets... they need water and shade as well.
