Lingering Showers + Storms Thru This Evening, Heavy Rain Potential from Helene Later This Week

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be in effect until 8pm tonight.

  • scattered damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph possible
  • isolated large hail
  • a “tornado or two” is also possible inside the entire watch area – I think that threat is mainly north of us

We’ll be covering this on X/IG. If either part of our county is included in a warning, we’ll go live on our YouTube channel. You can always view the radar on our website by using this link. Lightning + heavy rain will also be possible with any storm – could lead to some rainouts, depending on where the heaviest rain falls. read more
