[This Is A Rush Transcript. This Copy May Not Be In Its Final Form And May Be Updated. Linda Stouffer, Cnn Anchor:] Conditions in the Midwest this week have been downright dangerous because of intense summer heat there and some unusually high humidity. The heat is being blamed for four deaths just yesterday in Chicago. And Minnesota Viking Korey Stringer also died of heat stroke complications yesterday in Minnesota. People in the Midwest, Plain States and the South are being warned of the dangers of overheating. And Jill Brown has been watching all of this. She joins us right now here on the set to talk about it. Jill, I know it's kind of a cliche, it's not the heat, it's the humidity, but it really is.
[Jill Brown, Cnn Weather:] It's true. It is true. The temperature we haven't really seen a lot of record highs but we've had these heat advisories, excessive heat warnings for weeks now. And it really at his point, there's no end in sight. Some places will get a little bit of relief, but in general, another dangerous day out there it looks like. We have a Web site, actually, that'll show you some of the information about the heat and some safety advice for you. There's a little spot on here where you can click on symptoms and this will show you some of the things that we've been hearing about. With Korey Stringer, we heard that he was vomiting at practice and that's one of the symptoms of heat exhaustion. That's sort of your last point to rescue yourself. That's when you really need to catch it or well before that, of course. And heat stroke is sort of the last point and that's where you'd usually find death and that's what we've seen several reports of just this week alone and we hope that we won't see more. But the heat will continue. Take a look at what's been going on. Temperatures this morning are into the 80s already. I tell you, when you see temperatures in the morning in the 80s, with these kind of dew points into the 70s, it already feels like it's in the upper 80s. By this afternoon, we'll see the heat index go as high as 110, maybe even a little bit higher than that in some locations. You can see St. Louis and Kansas City both have an excessive heat warning. That means that the heat index could get as high as 110 to 115. But all of these areas, take it easy today. A little time in the air conditioning, especially if you've had several days of heat, that will bring your body a lot of relief. So if you don't have air conditioning, time to head to the library, to the mall. Linda, this isn't the only spot, actually. By the way, in the Plains we have the real terrible heat, but in the northeast, a lot of the major cities will go into the 90s and that's one place a lot of people don't have air conditioning.
[Stouffer:] Especially kids and elderly people,...
[Brown:] Right.
[Stouffer:] ... that could be very dangerous for them.
[Brown:] Exactly. And, you know, when you think about a professional athlete doesn't realize his limits, how can you expect children or other people to realize when they've had...
[Stouffer:] Right.
[Brown:] ... too much heat. I think it's just going to take you over very quickly.
[Stouffer:] Right. Long hot summer, we hope it gets cooler soon. Thank you, Jill.
[Brown:] You know, September is not far away, I hope.
[Stouffer:] OK. All right. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
