Strong to damaging winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning will all be possible beneath thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive any watch or warning information. If thunder roars, go indoors.

Make sure to practice heat safety! Drink plenty of fluids, avoid outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, stay in air conditioning, and don't forget your pets and check in on relatives and neighbors!
