Area wildfires contained, but hot weather remains

The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for Young County and several surrounding counties Thursday and it remains in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday, July 22.

High temperatures ranging from 103-110 degrees are possible each afternoon until Sunday. Heat index values may exceed 110 degrees and very hot temperatures will increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Be sure to check on those with health problems and the elderly, as they are most susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, the weather service release said.
