Thunderstorm Preparedness and Safety Actions

Those with outdoor plans should stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in air-conditioned or shaded areas. Do not leave children or pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature. weather.gov/safety/heat-children-pets

A few severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening and again Tuesday afternoon and evening. The main hazard with any severe storms that develop is damaging wind gusts. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially if you have outdoor plans.
