On Wednesday, Stay Safe in the Heat

National Weather Service forecast

• There's a 50 percent chance of rain in the afternoon, but the main concern is the predicted high temperature of 92 degrees and a heat index that figures it'll feel like the mid-90s. (Temperature-wise ... no Ace of Base songs.) An NWS excessive-heat warning is in effect through 8 p.m. Keep tabs on the young, old or sick, as well as pets, and make sure everyone is keeping as cool and as hydrated as possible.

Utilities

• PECO reported between 500 and 1,500 power outages last night in Montgomery County, including an undetermined number in Narberth-Bala Cynwyd Patch. If you or your neighbor(s) still are without power Wednesday morning, let us know at eric.campbell@patch.com.
