Significant Storm for Halloween

There will be a very strong storm system that will move in here just in time for Halloween. This storm will bring high winds, heavy rain and even a severe weather threat. The winds will begin to increase tomorrow during the afternoon and could gust upwards of 30-40mph. The rain should move in around mid-morning and continue on and off for rest of the day. It will really pick up in intensity around 4pm along with increaseing wind gusts upwards of 45-55mph. These winds could last for 12 hours and if thundstorm develope, then they could be around 55-70mph. Winds of this magnitude can do damage to trees and power lines. Thunderstorms are expected in two waves tomorrow, the first between 4-6pm and the second around midnight. These storms will be capable of producing damaging winds and even an isolated tornado. I will try to update the situation as more information becomes available. I will also post any alerts that are issued.
