JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The First Coast's Most Accurate Weather Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert Day for Friday.
WHEN: Friday, Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. will be the highest impacts
IMPACT: The entire First Coast is under a heat advisory from the National Weather Service, meaning heat index values will reach between 107 and 111 degrees during the 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. time range. This is actually an hour earlier than yesterday and it is very humid this morning already, so impacts will be felt earlier and longer.
NEED: Hydrate, find cool spots to take breaks. Extended exposure to the heat could lead to heat-related illnesses.
If you need a cooling center, Jacksonville makes all public libraries and community centers available Monday through Saturday.
If you live in Jacksonville and would like to take a dip in a pool, the city has 28 community pools open to the public.
