With a "real feel" temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit, outdoor activities and plans are likely to be severely curtailed, posing a significant threat to public health and safety. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory, warning of potentially life-threatening conditions, especially for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and young children. As millions of people flock to the city for the long weekend, authorities are urging residents to take precautions and stay cool, with many cooling centers and hydration stations set up across the city.
