Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
Heavy rain from the tropical remnants of Beryl will soak the
region today and tonight with rainfall amounts ranging from a
half inch across the western Southern Tier and up to two inches
across the lake plains from Buffalo to Rochester...to potentially
more than three inches over the Eastern Lake Ontario region. This
could lead to local flooding problems...particularly in urban
areas and areas with elevated terrain.
Possibly a greater risk will come from strong thunderstorms that
will develop this afternoon. While there will be tropical
downpours and localized wind gusts to 40 mph...there will be
unusually elevated risk for tornadoes. The greatest risk for
tornadic activity will be across the Finger Lakes region and parts
of the western Southern Tier.
