I cannot rule out the chance of showers Friday morning before the warm-up. While an isolated storm is possible on Saturday (10-20% chance), the better chance of afternoon and evening storms will come on Sunday with a cold front. The chance of PM storms is around 40%, and we could see 1 or 2 become strong to severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The abrupt beginning of hot temperatures early in the season after a relatively cool spring brings an increased risk of heat illnesses unless proper precautions are taken for those working or recreating outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since many outdoor events are planned this weekend in the region, be aware of the heat, and take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside this weekend. Reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Plan to wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing and seek shade from the sun. Schedule frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments and stay hydrated with non-alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
