Heat Advisory

Heard on the car radio Friday morning:

"There will be a heat advisory in effect until 7 p.m. Monday."

Ummm. While listening I was sure she was going to say "...until 7 p.m. this evening", so I was surprised to hear "Monday". That's three and a half days away!

1.) What's going to happen at 7 p.m. Monday? A cold front suddenly blows through right at that moment to cool things down to a bearable temperature?

2.) Does that mean that even at night, after the sun goes down, temperatures are still at dangerously high levels for the next three nights?!?

Today the high is supposed to reach 107 degrees farhenheit. That's 42 degrees celsius for those of you in most other countries of the world. 42 degrees! With the humidity, it might get up to 43 degrees! That's 110 farhenheit.

Yes indeed. There is a heat advisory. Take precautions. Go into your air-conditioned house and stay there.

Until 7 p.m. Monday.
