Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday. The greatest potential for strong to severe thunderstorms will be Saturday afternoon and evening. Damaging wind gusts and large hail are the main threats, although there is a low tornado risk. Uncertainty still exists since early day showers and storms may inhibit thunderstorm development in the afternoon, so stay tuned for updates!

National CPR & AED Awareness Week takes place every year from June 1 – 7. Throughout this week, we recognize the importance of initiating CPR and using an AED as a response to cardiac arrest. More than 350,000 people suffer cardiac arrest annually, but less than 10% survive.

Every second counts when responding to cardiac arrest. If you see someone suddenly collapse, become unresponsive, and stop breathing, call or ask someone to call 9-1-1, send someone for an AED, and begin CPR. Even if you aren’t trained, doing chest compressions (pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest) is better than doing nothing. In many cases, the 9-1-1 operator can talk you through CPR.

The American Red Cross offers Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED to help members of our communities be better prepared in case of an emergency. Tap the link to get more information and to sign up for a class: https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class
