Officials discuss ways to protect workers as temperatures rise in Louisville
SUMMARY: Officials in Louisville are taking steps to protect outdoor workers as extreme heat rises. Precautions include starting work earlier to avoid peak heat, shortening workdays, hydrating frequently, and taking cooling breaks. Firefighters face extra challenges as heat drains their oxygen tanks faster, requiring more backups. Parks and Recreation employees follow similar protocols. Workers are encouraged to watch for heat illness signs like fatigue, dizziness, and nausea and to look out for one another. An OSHA heat index app, available in English and Spanish, helps users monitor heat risk levels and provides first aid advice to stay safe.

Impact weather returns Wednesday with scattered storms
SUMMARY: Impact weather returns Wednesday with scattered storms expected in the Milwaukee area. After a mostly dry day with a few stray showers Monday evening, rain chances will rise Tuesday through Thursday due to a frontal system moving in from the north and west, tapping Gulf moisture. Wednesday is the peak day for scattered storms with possible heavy downpours and gusty winds, though no severe weather is anticipated. Rainfall totals are expected between half an inch to over an inch, providing much-needed relief to areas experiencing dryness and drought conditions. Fair and warm weather should return by the weekend, ideal for outdoor activities and the Kentucky State Fair.
