⛈️ There is a severe storm threat today (9/5/26). Most of the state is under a Level 2 Threat. Storms may be strong to severe later this afternoon and tonight. Have multiple ways to be informed. Where storms develop, we could see damaging winds, hail, and downpours causing flash flooding.

🔥🌵 And… it’s still hot hot hot out today. Dangerous heat is expected in many areas across the state.

Several communities saw power outages, trees down, and storm water flooding last night. Be aware. Have a plan.

Stay safe today and enjoy your weekend. Hopefully you are cooking something tasty and spending some time with good people.
