MM’s Wx Concerns
Strong winds today and tonight could cause shallow-rooted trees to fall, esp with our west soils and leaves still on the trees. Those leaves will catch more wind than if the tree were bare. Be prepared for sporadic power outages, just in case.
The concern for strong to severe thunderstorms Monday morning has increased a bit. The main timing looks to be between 6:00 a.m. and noon. That timing will become much more specific once the line of storms develops to our west late tonight.
