Isolated to scattered thunderstorms through much of this week. The main threats with storms will be heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Heat index values above 100 degrees will be possible Wednesday.

Updated 2:10pm, July 1:

A flood ADVISORY has been issued for Fayette County until 3:45pm.

One inch of rain has fallen in some areas with another inch possible. Expect flooding in low lying areas.

Remember turn around, don’t drown.  Don’t drive through standing or flowing water on roadways.

Updated noon, July 1:

A few cooling showers and storms are forecast, but outside of those storms high temperatures will again climb into the 90s. Combined with high humidity, plan on peak heat indices around 100.

Practice heat safety. Check on your neighbors, the elderly, and anyone without access to air conditioning. Stay hydrated. Limit strenuous outdoor activities to the morning or late evenings. Take frequent breaks in shade. Do not forget about your pets. And never leave children, the elderly or pets unattended in vehicles.
