Weather Update

From Freddy Johnson, Emergency Services director:

Because the hurricane took a more easterly path the 11 AM forecast reports improvements to our local  forecast, we can however still expect several more inches of rain between now and late morning Saturday.  Small stream flooding as well as flooding in low and poor run off areas is still possible.  The forecast predicts dry and windy weather for Saturday afternoon and evening.   As for Sunday it's just a matter of where that final band of rain will wrap back around and how far inland it comes.   Wind gusts up to 30 MPH are still possible and with the saturated ground that's enough force to topple trees, therefore wind gust remain a concern.  Again this will continue to be mainly a rain event for us with the associated and previously mentioned safety concerns and should not be a major impact on work related issues.
