CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - The National Weather Service says temperatures over the next three days will be the highest so far this year and could break records going back more than 100 years.

The heat will be produced by unusually strong high pressure covering the region. To guard against the heat, remember the following:

Wear lightweight clothing, sunscreen and use a hat or umbrella.
Drink water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate the body.
Avoid strenuous activity.
Take regular breaks when outdoors.
