The National Weather Service office in Peachtree City lifted the metro Atlanta Heat Advisory early Thursday but kept a separate Heat Advisory in effect for parts of eastern Georgia from noon to 8 p.m., with afternoon heat index values forecast to climb to between 105 and 108 across the warned area.

NWS Atlanta said the lingering advisory area will combine high humidity with afternoon highs in the upper 90s to push apparent temperatures well above the actual air temperature. The agency urged residents in the warned counties to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned rooms during the afternoon, avoid midday sun, and check on relatives and neighbors.
