Safety and Alerts

There are no active National Weather Service or NOAA weather alerts in effect for The Colony at this time. However, the combination of high temperatures and extreme humidity poses health risks. The oppressive humidity, indicated by the 77F dew point and 94% relative humidity, can make the air feel heavier and more difficult to breathe for some.

As temperatures approach 96F and heat indices exceed 100F, it is crucial to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day, especially tomorrow when the heat index will be highest. Check on elderly neighbors or those with health conditions who may be more vulnerable to heat stress. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and seek air-conditioned environments when possible to stay cool and safe.
