Wind AdvisoryThe National Weather Ser­vice has posted a Wind Advi­sory for Tues­day, Novem­ber 26th.  The Wind Advi­sory is in effect from Mid­night on Tues­day through Wednes­day, Novem­ber 27th at 10:00am.  Strong gusty winds out of the south­west will be felt in our region espe­cially dur­ing the overnight hours with wind gusts approach­ing 50mph.

A coastal storm will develop and is expected to bring sig­nif­i­cant rain and warmer tem­per­a­tures to our region over a 36 hour period.  Rain is expected to begin later in the day on Tues­day with the heav­i­est rain falling overnight through Wednes­day morn­ing.  The rain will taper off Wednes­day after­noon and sunny, dry, and colder weather is on our fore­cast from Thanks­giv­ing through Saturday.

With the Wind Advi­sory, please make plans now to secure any out­door objects includ­ing trash cans and lawn fur­ni­ture.  Please do not attempt to drive on any street that is cov­ered in rain­wa­ter as the water is typ­i­cally deeper than it appears.  If you have any emer­gency, please dial 9–1-1.
