Local Weather Concerns:
Any storm this week could produce torrential rainfall, hail, frequent lightning, and gusty winds that could even be locally severe. If you have outdoor plans, “know before you go.” Know where shelter is and know to watch the sky and radar. Stay tuned to MM for forecast updates.
Heat and humidity will be increasing as we go through the week. Be safe in the heat. Drink plenty of water and take breaks in the shade if you must work outside.
