Safety and Awareness

There are no active National Weather Service or NOAA weather alerts in effect for Sherman at this time. However, the persistent humidity and high heat index values warrant caution.

Check on neighbors who may be vulnerable to the heat, and ensure that pets and livestock have access to cool, shaded areas with plenty of water. While severe weather is not expected, the oppressive conditions can still pose health risks if proper precautions are not taken.
