Local Weather Concerns
Any storm this time of year could be strong to locally severe. Frequent lightning, torrential rainfall, and small hail are always possible. Winds can be quite gusty, as well, and could even do damage.
If you have outdoor plans, know before you go.
Know where shelter is and make sure you can get there quick. If you hear thunder or see dark clouds, move inside immediately and avoid being lightning struck. It only takes one strike…
