The National Weather Service is forecasting potentially severe weather for our region today, and residents should stay alert and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.

Overnight, a warm front moving into the area is expected to bring increasing moisture and instability. As a result, scattered showers and thunderstorms may begin developing and continue into Monday morning.

What to Expect

From Monday morning through early afternoon, residents can expect breezy conditions with south winds gusting between 30 and 40 mph, along with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could become severe and may produce:

  • Damaging wind gusts

  • Large hail

  • Isolated tornadoes

By Monday afternoon into the evening, forecasters expect a more organized line of thunderstorms to move rapidly across the region. These storms could bring very strong winds of 70–80 mph, which could result in significant damage, including downed trees and power lines.

There is also the possibility of tornadoes, including the potential for a stronger storm reaching up to EF-2 intensity.

Stay Prepared

Residents are encouraged to take a few simple steps to stay safe:

  • Monitor local weather forecasts and alerts throughout the day

  • Secure loose outdoor items that could be blown away by strong winds

  • Charge phones and electronic devices in case of power outages

  • Be prepared to move indoors or to a safe location quickly if a warning is issued

City Monitoring Conditions

City agencies are closely monitoring weather conditions and coordinating preparedness efforts to ensure a rapid and effective response if severe weather impacts the area.

Please continue to monitor official City communication channels and weather alerts for updates throughout the day.

Staying informed and prepared can make a big difference during severe weather events.
