GENERAL OUTLOOK
A cold front will cross our area today and is likely to bring rainfall to much of the region, and possibly some thunderstorms, a couple of which could produce severe damaging winds. Expect breezy conditions behind the front through Saturday. Dry high pressure slowly builds in through the weekend and remains in place through the middle of next week, with generally mild daytime temperatures.
TRAFFIC NOTICE
Plans have changed regarding the earlier traffic advisory:
Investigators will be keeping the southbound lanes open instead of creating a detour. It will be one lane from around Eller and Owen through Shope Road. Expect some congestion in that area from 9-noonish on Thursday, October 26th.
