Stay in air-conditioned buildings
Find a cooling center/hydration station

Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at least twice a day
Drink water before, during, and after working or exercising outside
Check the UV Index
Check the heat risk map

The Arizona Department of Transportation's tips for driving in extreme temperatures include:
Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing.
Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat.
Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated.
Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.

Hot conditions peak as monsoon moisture arrives in Utah for the middle of the week
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Tuesday, Utah! Our Tuesday afternoon will feature a mix of clouds and sunshine across the state. We may begin to tap into a bit of monsoonal moisture, leading to a chance for isolated storms to develop over the higher terrain, and possibly drift into the valley areas. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for parts of central and southern Utah Tuesday for the risk for dry lightning and possible fire ignitions due to the lightning. Tuesday high temperatures will be in the upper 90s to 100 for the Wasatch Front and near 106° for SW Utah. A Heat Advisory is in effect for eastern Box Elder county, the Wasatch Front, and Tooele Valley for this afternoon through Tuesday late evening. The combination of near triple digit heat Monday, and triple digit heat Tuesday will help to increase the heat risk danger for northern Utah Tuesday. Increasing moisture thanks to a monsoonal tap will help to aid in more clouds and moisture around the Beehive state for the middle of the work week. Look for chances for showers & storms on an isolated to scattered basis to increase. No washouts are in the forecast, but the chance for some pop-ups will become more widespread. Highs will cool due to the extra clouds and showers to the low to mid 90s along the Wasatch Front, and potentially below 100° for SW Utah. Later this week, just in time for the 4th of July, we will begin to dry things out and heat things up. Friday will feature mostly sunny to partly sunny skies, with a very slight chance for a pop-up across northern Utah. Southern Utah will be dry and hot. Highs across southern Utah will warm back to near 100°, while highs across northern Utah will warm into the low to mid 90s. It gets even hotter and drier for the weekend with sunny skies and hot temperatures. Highs will warm back to the upper 90s across the north, and 100°+ for SW Utah!

Weather forecast maps for Boston area show storms could bring downpours today
The WBZ weather team is declaring a NEXT Weather Alert for the Boston area today. We don't expect a major severe weather day but, there will likely be some scattered downpours later in Massachusetts Tuesday afternoon and evening. The Storms Prediction Center has placed all of southern New England in a "marginal" risk for severe weather today. This is the lowest category (1 of 5) that the center issues. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston In addition, the center issued a 5% risk for damaging winds within any thunderstorms that form today. Boston weather today There could be a few widely scattered downpours as early as 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. this afternoon. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston The greatest risk comes between 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. this evening. This is when many models show a cluster of storms moving from west to east across the state. The main concern would be for some locally heavy downpours along with some occasional lightning. There is a smaller chance of some isolated wind damage or hail. Again, we do not anticipate a major severe weather outbreak today. We would urge you to stay tuned to the latest forecast and keep an eye to the sky if you have any outdoor plans this evening. Massachusetts Weather Radar July 4th forecast Looking ahead a few days to the 4th of July: For the most part, it is a near perfect weather forecast. The humidity from the next few days will be gone, leaving a very comfortable airmass in its place. The day will start with wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures in the 70s by late morning and noon. The air well above our heads will be a bit unstable on Friday so, there will likely be some clouds popping up during the afternoon. There is a very slight risk of an isolated, pop-up shower at some point in the afternoon or evening. This is not something to necessarily focus on as the chance is very low. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston Highs will rise into the low 80s during the afternoon. For fireworks displays at night, the skies will be mainly clear, and temperatures will fall back into the upper 60s and low 70s.
