MM’s Wx Concerns
An approaching storm system will bring very gusty winds to the area Sunday and Sunday night. These winds could gust to 30 + mph, which could be enough to lead to sporadic power outages. Winds of this nature can also make driving difficult in high-profile vehicles. Make sure outdoor holiday decorations are secure, as well as any outdoor furniture and trash cans.

NOTE: Our record high will likely be broken today.
