Rain & Storm Chances Return Monday; Cold Front Approaching

We sure need rain across the state, as the drought is still the biggest headline for now.

What will the weather be like on Monday?

A few showers and storms are possible Monday morning, but chances are very isolated.

You will notice the humidity again Monday afternoon, as highs climb into the 80s and heat index values will range from 90 to 99 degrees.

We may see a few isolated storm chances in the northwest, but storms will weaken as we lose the heating of the day.

Monday night, we will be back into the lower and mid 60s.

There are several chances for storms out west this week and at times they could be low-end severe.

Our next upper-level storm arrives this weekend. It will bring some scattered storms, and maybe severe weather. Rain chances go up for the metro this weekend as the front arrives.

EMSA HEAT SAFETY TIPS

1. -HYDRATION is key in preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours before and during long exposure to the summer heat.
2. Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors, and take plenty of shade breaks.
3. No alcohol or caffeine.
4. If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.
5. Don’t limit your use of air conditioning.
6. Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.
7. Keep a cellphone on you at all times when outdoors, including walking, running daily errands, yard work or sports and physical activity.
