You should wait until fall to dethatch and overseed

I know how tempting it is to do it now, but the new grass will not be able to survive the heat of summer. In fact, of it is anything like the last two years, the established grass will be lucky to survive.
I bought a de-thatcher I am waiting to use before I overseed this year. I am also using a new weed killer. If I can keep some of my grass from dying this year I will consider it a success. But I have a limit to how much I will spend on water to keep my grass from dying.
