The National Weather Service has elevated its heat advisory today to an "Excessive Heat Warning," in effect from 11am to 7pm.
Temperatures are heading into the upper 90s today and will combine with very high humidity to produce dangerous heat index values.
An Excessive Heat Warning has been issued for all of east central Florida as heat index values reach 110 to as high as 115 degrees.
The National Weather Service advises that the best place to be today is indoors. If venturing outside, stay well-hydrated and take frequent indoor rest breaks, preferably in an air-conditioned room.
Areas that see any scattered afternoon storms (30-50% chance) will experience some relief from the heat. A few stronger storms may produce frequent lightning, 40 to 50 mph wind gusts, and torrential downpours.
