A Heat Advisory is in effect today from 1:00pm this afternoon until 7:00pm for all of Acadiana. 

Another one is in place for most of Friday and we should see more issued for the upcoming weekend.  

A Heat Advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected.

The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. 

The heat index for the hottest part of the afternoon in Acadiana could push over 110°!
