The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for central Douglas County from Monday night at 11:00 p.m. through Tuesday night at 11:00 p.m.

Forecasters said temperatures up to 101 degrees are expected with overnight lows as warm at 70 degrees.

The combination of warm overnight temperatures, hot daytime temperatures, and dry conditions will make it difficult to stay hydrated and cool. The potential for heat related illnesses will be significantly higher, especially for those working outside and for those who lack cooling resources.

Forecasters said residents should drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
