CHEHALIS – The coroner has a warning as outdoor temperatures are forecast to rise above 80 degrees today.
Basically, he says please don’t drown.
Lewis County Coroner Warren McLeod issued a statement this morning to remind the public that that although our local rivers may look inviting, they are dangerous.
“Cold temperatures and fast moving water combine quickly to overpower anyone in the water,” McLeod stated.
The best way to stay safe is to wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets when people are going to be in, on or around the water, McLeod says.
