We're under a 30% chance for severe weather tomorrow, which is at the high end of a SLIGHT Risk. We were under a 45% chance earlier today, but that they have since lowered that. A squall line (thin line of severe storms) will be coming through tomorrow afternoon sometime with high winds and the possibility of a few tornadoes. If the sun comes out tomorrow before this line comes through, expect a heightened level of severe weather.
The High Wind Warning will be from 7am until 10pm tomorrow. This has been put in place because we could see constant winds of 40mph with gusts to 60mph just before and after the squall line passes tomorrow afternoon. The squall line itself could generate wind gusts well over 70mph if it becomes severe enough. At any rate, winds should start to pick up tonight and last through the day tomorrow. As for power outages, I do think there will be some around the area. The number of power outages will depend on the wind speeds tomorrow.
One more day in the 60's tomorrow before we drop into the 50's for the rest of the week.

Can you guess what school systems will do with the high wind and severe storms tomorrow? Your thought appreciated.Thanks
I have no idea. We'll have to see what happens!
My guess for the school systems is that there is no reason for them to do anything at this point. Will you have your chat thing open tomorrow afternoon?
Edit....I misread the report about the timing on the winds but this is why school's practice tornado drills ;-)
Is it possible to let the kids out early if it looks ominous?
No. Unless its obviously going to be some major disaster. Seriously though...has the school system ever let students out for thunderstorms before? I remember being at school numerous times during thunderstorms, some even severe to where they made us stay in school a few minutes after the final bell.
I don't think schools will let out early for a quick-hitting squall line.
A school is safer than your house anyway, the schools are much sturdier.
