(KLZA)-- A second day of high heat and humidity means another heat advisory for the listening area this afternoon and early this evening.

Heat index values in the range of 105 - 110 degrees are possible today.

The heat could cause heat illnesses. You should drink plenty of fluids, stay inside an air conditioned room if possible and stay out of the sun.

It is also a good idea to check on relatives and neighbors to make sure they are doing well, dealing with the heat.

If you must be outside be sure to wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Be sure to take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

There is a chance of widely scattered thunderstorms developing in the area this afternoon with a chance for severe weather including damaging wind, large hail, and a low potential for a tornado.

The forecast calls for additional strong to severe thunderstorms with heavy rain Thursday through Friday night.
