Sunny skies and dry conditions are expected to continue Saturday, but with an increase in winds. Gusts up to 40 mph will be possible at times, especially west. Fires can spread quickly in these conditions, exercise caution! #iawx
Don't underestimate the power of severe wind! It can damage your home or vehicle. Prepare to help reduce damage: 🔹 Trim trees and shrubs 🔹 Repair loose siding or shutters 🔹 Secure loose outdoor items (patio furniture, trash cans, etc.)
Intensifying low pressure will lead to increasing north to northwest winds late tonight into Wednesday. The strongest winds are expected during the day with sustained winds at 25 to 35 mph with gusts approaching 50mph. East/West roads will have strong crosswinds. #iawx
Today we conclude our #SWAW2024 with a focus on Flash Floods! Warning means TAKE ACTION. Watch means BE PREPARED. floodsafety.noaa.gov/watch_warning.… #FloodSafety #IAwx #SWAW

Where do you go in the event of a tornado? The safest option is a basement. If you do not have one, go to an interior room on the lowest floor in your home. This room should have no windows or outside walls. Commonly, this would be a bathroom, stairwell, or closet. #iawx
