... Heat advisory in effect from noon to 6 PM EDT Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect from noon to 6 PM EDT Wednesday.

* Locations... Nassau and western Suffolk counties.

* Hazards... heat related illnesses.

* Heat index values... up to 100 degrees... except at the immediate
South Shore.

* Timing... Wednesday afternoon.

* Impacts... potential health hazards to those prone to heat stress
such as seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental
disability.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...


A heat advisory is issued when the combination of heat and
humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 100 to
104 degrees for two consecutive hours.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible... reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency... call 9 1 1.

At home... use air conditioning to stay cool or go to a place that
has air conditioning. Drink water at regular intervals. Check in
on your at-risk family... friends... and neighbors... especially
if they don't have air conditioning or live alone.

... Strong to severe thunderstorms expected this afternoon...

A strong cold front will push south across the area this afternoon.
The heat and humidity of the past several days has created a very
unstable atmosphere across the region... and this will lead to the
development of widespread thunderstorms by early this afternoon.

The first areas to see thunderstorm development will be across far
northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley... beginning around
noon or 1 PM. These storms will then move fairly quickly to the
southeast... reaching New York City and coastal locations between 2
PM and 4 PM before moving offshore by early this evening.

Some of these storms will be severe... with damaging winds in excess
of 60 mph and large hail. Flash flooding is also possible as the
moist atmosphere will allow these storms to produce 1 to 2 inches of
rainfall in a short amount of time. Frequent cloud to ground
lightning is also expected.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and local media outlets for the
latest information.
