Sorry for my delay in getting this out. We are under a High Wind Warning (click on words for details) from now already until 12 noon Saturday. Winds are already howling outside, and just a second ago had a loud thud on the roof. It won't surprise me to have trees down across our roads and/or power outages. This is a rather prolonged wind event...and given our rather copious rains over the past few weeks, the soft ground may help with all of that.
There is also the mention of snow late overnight as the colder air invades. My 2 models have held in the 0-1" category, with more of that toward the TN border. I'm hoping the winds will dry out the roads before freezing conditions occur, but there is that chance for a light snow covering by daybreak. Less than a 50% chance though.
For those that may be new here, here is some useful information per Duke Energy. The toll free number you can call to report an outage is 800-419-6536. It is a very good automated system which allows you to opt in or out for callbacks, text alerts, etc. The corresponding interactive website to check outage information just about anywhere is found HERE (click on the word).
Hopefully we get out of this with no issues. But hang on to your hats...not only will we have some lows below freezing, but by Friday of next week there is a chance for a decent snow here. Iffy at this point, but definitely on my figurative radar at this moment. More on that later.
Bob
