A few isolated showers and storms for Tuesday and Wednesday but better chances are Thursday into the Weekend.
There is a marginal risk of excessive rainfall across much of the area this Friday and Friday Night, with a slight risk for Saturday and Saturday night.
Chances for more widespread rainfall this weekend are increasing, and are now medium (40-60%). However, uncertainty remains very high this far in advance.
When the power goes out during dangerous heat, keep blinds closed to prevent sunshine from heating the indoors, go to the coolest part of the house or building (usually the basement), reduce body temperature by taking a cool shower/bath or putting hands/feet in cool water, stay hydrated, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing, find local cooling centers like malls, libraries, movie theaters, etc, and always monitor yourself and others for symptoms of heat illness. Call 911 in the event of heat stroke!
