"Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat." It advised: "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors." Heat advisories, issued "for dangerous heat conditions that are not expected to reach warning criteria," were in effect for numerous states as of early Thursday, including: Colorado Connecticut Delaware Massachusetts Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Dakota Texas Triple-digit temperatures were expected in far west Texas and New Mexico's Luna County, where the NWS advised residents in affected areas to try to limit strenuous to early morning or evening. A large portion of the Midwest was also under extreme heat watch, including parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois, with a heat wave expected in this area over the weekend. "Numerous daily record highs and warm lows are anticipated Sunday into early next week," the NWS Weather Prediction Center (WPC) said in a post Wednesday. "This level of heat can be dangerous to anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration," the WPC added. What People Are Saying NWS Las Vegas said on X, Tuesday: "Extreme Heat Warning is in effect Wednesday & Thursday with Major Heat Risk across parts of the region. This heat can impact anyone, especially those without access to cooling or hydration. Stay cool, stay hydrated, & limit outdoor activity during peak heat." NWS Boston said on X, Tuesday: "[Dangerous Heat & Humidity Expected Next Week] There is high confidence in several days of dangerous heat and humidity in the Mon through Wed time frame of next week. We will have more specific details later in the week, but the potential for Heat Indices of 100-105+ will exist."
