EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Las Vegas NV
1255 PM PDT Thu Sep 1 2022
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM PDT
TUESDAY...
* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions expected through the week.
High and low temperatures of 8 to 12 degrees above normal are
expected through Tuesday.
* WHERE...Southern Nevada, southeast California and the Colorado
River Valley.
* WHEN...Until 8 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...A prolonged period of excessive heat will

outdoor activities. Those without access to adequate or
reliable cooling or hydration will be at most risk, but much
of the population could be susceptible to impacts as well.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Minimum temperatures will struggle to
fall below 80 degrees for many locations, which could set
early September records, including in Las Vegas. This, coupled
with the increased recreation due to the upcoming holiday
weekend, make this heat event particularly unique and
potentially impactful.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out
of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young
children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to the early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke....
