August is about to live up to its reputation as the hottest month of the year.
The National Weather Service office in Paducah has issued a heat
advisory for the western third of Kentucky through 7 p.m. Saturday as the mercury climbs well into the 90s over the next
several days, pushing the heat index into triple digits. The heat will combine with high humidity to create a
situation where heat illnesses are possible.
Outdoor activities should be limited and rescheduled for the early morning or evening, the weather service advised.
