It may be Independence Day, but the Tampa Bay area isn't free from the heat — a heat advisory was issued for the majority of the region for most of the day.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued the advisory just after 5 a.m. Thursday. It officially takes effect at 11 a.m. and lasts through 6 p.m. According to forecasters, heat indices (think feels-like temperatures) are expected to top 108 degrees. Some areas, such as parts of the Nature Coast and further south in Sarasota County, could see heat indices reach more than 110 degrees.
This means if you have plans to spend any extended amount of time outside, especially during the peak heat advisory times, take precautions to keep yourself and loved ones safe.
