That's why we lead with the hourly chart: right now the highest chance over the next 12 hours is 4%, and the chart shows exactly when it peaks.

What to Do in Your Situation
Older bodies sense heat and thirst later and sweat less, and common medications such as diuretics and some blood pressure drugs make it harder to stay cool. Once temperatures reach the upper 90s, a fan alone won't prevent heat illness — spend the hottest hours somewhere air-conditioned. A body temperature of 103°F or higher, confusion, or hot red skin can mean heat stroke: call 911 and start cooling the person right away.
Hypothermia can set in indoors for older adults, so keep the thermostat at 68°F or warmer even if bills are tight. Let faucets on outside walls drip, open the cabinet doors under sinks, bring pets in, and cover tender plants before sunset. If heating costs are the problem, the federal LIHEAP program helps with both heating and cooling bills.
Ask your electric company whether it keeps a medical priority list, and ask your equipment supplier about backup batteries before storm season. If you run a generator, keep it outdoors and at least 20 feet from doors and windows — never in a garage, even with the door open — and have a battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm inside.
Look up your evacuation zone on your county's emergency management site before a watch is issued, and ask whether the county keeps a registry for people who will need help evacuating or a special-needs shelter. Refill prescriptions early — in Florida, insurers must allow an early refill once a hurricane warning or state of emergency is in place, and pharmacists can tell you what applies in other states.
Six inches of fast-moving water can knock an adult off their feet, and about a foot of rushing water can float most cars. If water covers the road, turn around — the road beneath may be washed out. In heavy rain, turn on your headlights, slow down, and leave extra room behind the car ahead.
