We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overeager in hot weather can spell danger, ASPCA experts warn.

A strong cold front continues to push closer to our area. The instability in the atmosphere will increase with the heat and humidity continuing to build in out ahead of the front. I expect scattered storms to develop later this morning into this afternoon. The storm threat will be with us through the middle of the week until this front moves through Thursday. Some of these storms could be strong to severe with the concern being heavy downpours, lightning, damaging wind gusts, hail and even an isolated tornado. The best threat for severe storms today will be west of Cleveland.

TODAY: Warm and humid with a few showers and t-storms this afternoon. Some of these storms could be strong and severe. High: 88 Wind: S at 5-15 mph.

TONIGHT: A few shower and storms. A few could be strong to severe. Low: 67 Wind: SW at 10-15 mph

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and t-storms. Threat of strong to severe storms. High: 86

We all suffer in hot weather. However, for elderly and disabled people and those with chronic health conditions such as vascular disease or diabetes, the weather does not have to hit 100 degrees to cause heat stress or even deadly heat stroke.
