Gusty Winds Before Very Low Chance of Straight-Line Winds and/or Hail This Evening

Until 10p tonight we will have a Wind Advisory for wind gusts up to 45 mph possible. With winds coming out of the south, travel on W-E roads (like I-40 and 840) may be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Winds should relax tonight. read more

Still Watching Low-End Potential for Damaging Straight-Line Winds and/or Hail Wednesday Evening

Another seasonally warm day is on tap for Wednesday – highs getting all the way up into the mid 70s – roughly 15° above average.

With the winds coming out of the south, travel on W-E oriented roads (such as I-40, 840) may be difficult for high-profile vehicles. Secure any outdoor furniture and bring in trash cans. read more

Mostly Quiet Week Ahead

A few rivers/creeks are still running high – if you come across a flooded road, turn around, don’t drown.

Temps to get down near freezing tonight. If we do get below freezing, it will likely be short-lived. read more
