It's not so nice back to the west, where we have showers and storms; and they're showing up well on our storm tracker doppler radar. Let's look at this -- hey, I'm in western Mobile County right on the Alabama-Mississippi line -- this has been a very persistent and very slow-moving thunderstorm here that's rocked Citronelle and, uh, Earlville, and also Georgetown, and now this thing is moving on over toward Mississippi" (note: the program appeared to have had the reporter in front of some digital while appearing to have had this part of the report).

It's jumped up so much it's covered up by part of the banner, but you can see that the triple-digit index values begin at mid-day, so you need to stay hydrated, you need to find shade, and just understand that heat exhaustion can sneak up fast in that type of environment and we see a lot of it between now and September" (the program appeared to have had some digital graphics involving texts such as "HEAT INDEX" and "STORMtracker" behind the reporter while appearing to have had this part of the report).
