* WHAT…Hot conditions with high temperatures up to 85 to 90
degrees and up to 95 degrees in the Cascade Valleys, and low
temperatures down to 55 to 65 degrees. This will pose a moderate
risk of heat-related illness.
* WHERE…Portions of northwest and west central Washington.
* WHEN…From 10 AM Sunday to 10 PM PDT Monday.
* IMPACTS…Heat will significantly increase the risk of
heat-related illnesses for those who are sensitive to heat,
especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Water temperatures, including area lakes and
rivers, remain cold (in the upper 40s and 50s) which significantly
increases the risk of cold shock and drowning, even for confident
swimmers in calm water. Cold water drains body heat up to 25 times
faster than cold air.
