  "account": "As fierce heat looms on Friday, several Louisville-area high school football games have been postponed to avoid the scorching conditions. Notably, Cincinnati Moeller (1-1) vs. Trinity (2-0) will commence at 8 p.m. on Friday, later than initially planned. The National Weather Service predicts a scorching 96 degrees with a heat index of 106 degrees. The weather is so extreme that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association mandates specific heat policies. For temperatures between 87.1-89.9, schools must make mandatory water breaks every four minutes in each quarter. If temperatures rise to 90.0-91.9, water breaks must occur at four and eight minutes into each quarter. If the heat index exceeds 92.0, games cannot be played. Louisville-area schools have adjusted their football schedules accordingly.",
  "summary": "With excessive heat in the forecast for Friday, the kickoff times for several high school football games in Louisville area are being pushed back.",
