Report by Paula Antolini, August 19, 2019, 1:43PM EDT

The National Weather Service has issued a HEAT ADVISORY for Bethel, CT, that remains in effect until 8PM EST this evening.

* HEAT INDEX VALUES…95 to 100.

* TIMING…Through 8 PM this evening.

* IMPACTS…Extreme heat can cause illness and death among at-risk population who cannot stay cool. The heat and humidity may cause heat stress during outdoor exertion or extended exposure.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.

Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures, so you may wish to contact someone like CJS Heating and Air to come out and install a unit in your home so you get the benefits for the rest of the summer, and for future summers to come. Use air conditioning to stay cool at home, or go to a place that has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members and neighbors.

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! In cases of heat stroke call 911.

Hot and humid weather continues through today. Highs are forecast in the upper 80s to lower 90s with heat indices for many locations near 95 to 100. Eastern Long Island is expected to be slightly cooler with heat indices in the lower 90s there.

Showers and thunderstorms develop today into early this evening as a cold front moves closer and within the region. The front is expected to weaken this evening and will move south of Long Island overnight. Expecting the shower and thunderstorm activity to diminish late this evening into overnight.

The airmass will be a little less hot and humid Tuesday but highs are still expected to reach mid 80s to near 90 with heat indices into the lower 90s. Mainly dry conditions are anticipated but there could be a shower or thunderstorm along a developing sea breeze with a greater chance of showers and thunderstorms heading into Tuesday night with the approach of a wave of low pressure.
