UV INDEX FORECASTS FOR TODAY 8/8 - 

The UV or Ultra Violet forecasts are going to be posted each day. UV levels are important for many reasons. UV levels can be a great benefit to us for overall health. Very important right now. But, you also need to know when exposure to the sun is likely to result in situations like sunburn, or heat related illness. If you see us in the red or purple colors, that is when you need to be thinking of minimizing exposure to the sun to avoid what can happen. 

The UV Index for today will be high to very high for all areas. Use of sunscreen will be required for those with prolonged exposure to the sun. Plan to reduce activity in the afternoon to minimize potential damaging sunburns.
