NWS: Heat Advisory extended to Saturday
June 21, 2024 1115 am EDT
Hazardous Weather outlook weather message issued 248 am June 21 by NWS Cleveland forecast center
HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT SATURDAY...Peak heat index values of around 100 degrees expected,
especially on Saturday afternoon. Values will be a bit cooler but still in the 90s today.
Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses. The prolonged nature of the heat may increase heat stress with time. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.

From The Sensors provisional data on river flooding from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
Thirty-seven streamflow gauges indicate flooding in the USA today, up from twenty-six Thursday. WT tracks the flow levels on four reference flood events, as the sensors read and record it, all occurring in the state of Louisiana.
Louisiana: Region 7 Amite River continues to run above flood stage at Hwy 22 near Maurepas. Ongoing since June 4, Region 1 watershed's Bayou Bodcau Lake is down six inches overnight near Shreveport, currently recorded a foot and a half over the basin. In Region 4, west boundary river Sabine water level has come down a few more inches overnight, currently running ten inches over near Logansport. Downstream near Ruliff the water level is down to nine inches above flood stage, the flow volume has dropped slightly also, supporting the receding flow trend. For more info on the flooding in Louisiana, see black tags indicating flood flow volume and gauge height updated daily here.
Drinking Water Advisories
Nelsonville issued a BWA Monday after work was done to tie in a new water line. The area impacted is in the northwest quarter: John, Frank, Williams, Edward, Madison Streets from Cross St to the end of the line, from Frederick Street to Grover Street, Grover Street from Madison to Frederick St are under the boil order until June 20.
As many drinking water facilities are supplied from surface water reservoirs, the streamflow situation is pertinent to both drinking water supply and quality. High flows can stir up sediment and cause turbidity in the reservoirs, requiring additional treatments to render the water potable. Low flow volume is linked to warmer temperatures in the reservoir and can be an issue for water quality where HABs are present. WT tracks streamflow trends with an eye to the impacts on drinking water supply and quality in each of the state's watersheds. Check the watershed layer on the map to see the direction of flow and streamflows that may be impacting drinking water today.
USGS Provisional Data Statement
Data are provisional and subject to revision until they have been thoroughly reviewed and received final approval. Current condition data relayed by satellite or other telemetry are automatically screened to not display improbable values until they can be verified.
Provisional data may be inaccurate due to instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review based on field inspections and measurements may result in significant revisions to the data.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Information concerning the accuracy and appropriate uses of these data or concerning other hydrologic data may be obtained from the USGS.
