(WSBT Storm Alert Team) A Wind Advisory is in effect for our entire area until 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 29.
We’ll have another round of widespread rain Sunday as we soar to the mid to upper 50s for our highs. Thunderstorms can’t be ruled out as a large front pushes through the area, bringing the possibility of damaging winds to the southern part of the area. This front will also thrust back into winter weather. Wind gusts on Sunday could reach 35 miles per hour.
