Have a safe and happy 4th of July.

According to AAA, 47.9M are expected to travel more than 50 miles to celebrate the Fourth of July Weekend, 1.37M of those drivers are from MA. Be sure to wear your seatbelt! Seatbelts save you from distracted, drunk, and aggressive drivers. #DriveSafe and #BuckleUp

Hot temperatures are expected today: • Never leave children or pets alone in a closed vehicle 🐶👶 • Recognize & respond to heat-related illnesses 🚑 • Stay hydrated 💦 • Check on neighbors, older adults & those at risk 🏡 Heat Safety Tips: mass.gov/mema/heat

Act Fast. Save a Life. If you see a child alone in a locked car, get them out immediately and call 911. A child in distress due to heat should be removed from the vehicle as quickly as possible and rapidly cooled.

[Independence Day Weekend Outlook] Turns very warm & humid on Friday. A strong cold front then moves in on Saturday with potential for multiple periods of showers & storms, a few strong to severe. Sunday & Monday looking seasonably warm, less humid and dry.

Over 900 children have died of heatstroke since 1998 because they were left or became trapped in a hot car. Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended — even if the windows are partially open or the engine is running, and the air conditioning is on. ow.ly/Wqqn50JKKHv

The #4thofJuly weekend is approaching!🇺🇸🎇 Marijuana and alcohol don't belong behind the wheel, period. This #July4th, and every day, if you’re high, call a sober friend, rideshare, or taxi to get you home safely. #ImpairedDriving

In just 10 minutes, a car can heat up by 20 degrees. That’s enough to kill a child left alone in a vehicle. #heatstroke #wheresbaby

[Overnight] Windows open! Clear skies, cool temperatures, and low dew points add up to great sleeping conditions across southern New England #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx

Seatbelts save lives. According to @NHTSAgov research, the risk of fatal injury to front-seat car occupants is reduced by 45% when seat belts are used. #BuckleUp every trip, every time. #DriveSafe

As the holiday weekend approaches, now is an excellent time to plan your safe, sober ride. What are your options to get home safely? Do you have a designated driver who will be there? Can you take a rideshare, a taxi, or the MBTA? Please remember #BuzzedDrivingIsDrunkDriving

Oh, look, rain. Remember, if your wipers are on, your headlights should also be on.

[530 PM] It's going to be a hot 🌡️one on Sunday! Temps rise into the low to mid 90s away from the immediate south coast. A southerly wind 🍃 will develop under mostly sunny skies 😎. Get outside and enjoy but be sure to drink plenty of fluids🍹! #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx #summer #heat

At 55 mph, a 4-second text takes your eyes off the road for the length of a football field! Distracted driving can be deadly. #JustDrive
