Know Your Lightning ⚡
Ever heard of "Positive Lightning"? It makes up less than 5% of all strikes. It usually originates in the anvil of a cumulonimbus cloud, and can strike up to 10 miles away from the storm, and can deliver up to 300,000 amps. (Negative lightning usually packs a punch of "only" 30,000 amps.) ALL lightning is dangerous and potentially deadly. You can always restart your BBQ or postpone your softball game. When you hear thunder, I'd recommend simply going indoors.

During extremely hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged. When the body heats too rapidly to cool itself properly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, body temperature rises and you or someone you care about may experience a heat-related illness. It is important to know the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a list of warning signs and symptoms of heat illness, and recommended first aid steps. Some of these symptoms and steps are listed below.

Heat Cramps

Heat cramps may be the first sign of heat-related illness, and may lead to heat exhaustion or stroke.

Symptoms: Painful muscle cramps and spasms usually in legs and abdomen and Heavy sweating.
First Aid: Apply firm pressure on cramping muscles or gently massage to relieve spasm. Give sips of water unless the person complains of nausea, then stop giving water.

Seek immediate medical attention if cramps last longer than 1 hour.
Heat Exhaustion
Symptoms: Heavy sweating, Weakness or tiredness, cool, pale, clammy skin; fast, weak pulse, muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, headache, fainting,
First Aid: Move person to a cooler environment, preferably a well air conditioned room. Loosen clothing. Apply cool, wet cloths or have person sit in a cool bath. Offer sips of water. If person vomits more than once,

Seek immediate medical attention if the person vomits, symptoms worsen or last longer than 1 hour
Heat Stroke
Symptoms: Throbbing headache, confusion, nausea, dizziness, body temperature above 103°F, hot, red, dry or damp skin, rapid and strong pulse, fainting, loss of consciousness.
First Aid: Call 911 or get the victim to a hospital immediately. Heat stroke is a severe medical emergency. Delay can be fatal. Move the victim to a cooler, preferably air-conditioned, environment. Reduce body temperature with cool cloths or bath. Use fan if heat index temperatures are below the high 90s. A fan can make you hotter at higher temperatures. Do NOT give fluids.
Using a fan to blow air in someone’s direction may actually make them hotter if heat index temperatures are above the 90s. For more information on all of these heat related illnesses, see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) site.

..Potential for rapid transition to snowfall in heavy
precipitation late this afternoon and evening...

A cold frontal boundary will push through the western half of Utah
later this afternoon through the mid-to-late evening hours. Along
this boundary, a line of moderate to heavy precipitation is
expected, mostly in the form of rain. There is a low chance (25
percent likelihood) that a transition to snow occurs in the areas
of heavier precipitation rates as the boundary moves through. The most likely
period that this would occur will be between 5 PM and 7PM along
the I-80 corridor west of the Tooele Valley, 7 PM and 10 PM along
the Wasatch Front, and between 9 PM to 12AM along the I-15
corridor between Nephi and Cedar City.

Scenario 1 (most likely): The frontal boundary pushes through the
western half of Utah, bringing moderate to high intensity
precipitation in the form of rain across all areas. Snow may mix
in toward the end of the banded precipitation, however,
significant accumulations of snowfall will not be expected.

Scenario 2 (less likely): The frontal boundary pushes through the
western half of Utah. bringing high intensity precipitation rates
that force snow levels down to valley floors. If this occurs,
disruptions to travel are likely along the I-80 and I-15
corridors, especially on the higher elevation passes. Possible
snow accumulations with a rapid transition to snowfall will be 1
to 3 inches. Again, this is a low probability event (about 25
percent chance or less).

High winds can occur during a severe thunderstorm, with a strong weather system, or can flow down a mountain. When winds are sustained at 40-50 mph, isolated wind damage is possible. Widespread significant wind damage can occur with higher wind speeds. During strong thunderstorms, straight line wind speeds can exceed 100 mph. High winds can blow objects around and pose a significant threat to your safety. Understanding the risks can help you prepare for these events.

During a High Wind Event
Take Shelter
Immediately go inside a sturdy building during a high wind warning or severe thunderstorm warning and move to an interior room or basement.
If you are in a mobile home, move to a sturdy building before the winds pick up or the storm system reaches your location.
Listen to the local news or NOAA Weather Radio for updates.
If Caught Outside or Driving
Take shelter in your car if you are not near a sturdy building. If possible, drive to a nearby sturdy building. Otherwise, move your car to a location where it is less likely to be hit by falling trees or power lines.

After Strong Winds Event
Do not go near downed power lines. Report downed power lines to the police.
Continue to listen to the local news and NOAA Weather Radio for updates following the storm.
If you lose power and are using a generator, be sure to review generator safety tips.
Be careful when handling debris that may have blown into your yard.
If no shelter is available avoid trees, power lines, and the side of the road. Keep in mind that power lines that are laying on the ground may be live. Do not go near them! Try to find a place that will block blowing or falling debris.
If you are driving and aren't near a sturdy building, hold the steering wheel with both hands and slow down.
Keep a distance from high profile vehicles such as trucks, buses and vehicles towing trailers. One strong gust of wind can be enough to flip one of these trailers onto its side.
