Dangerous heat continues today with heat index values as high as 95 expected today in St. Lawrence County, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

High temps of 88 and heat indices pushing 95 degrees will occur between 1 and 6 p.m., NWS says. Showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, but more likely later this evening.

The overnight low will be 69 with light winds, the service says.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young

children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

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 lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. 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.
