Cloudy Skies and Calm Communities: A Look at the Lakeway Area
Good morning, Lakeway Area! As we gear up for a cozy weekend, it seems we’re in for a bit of a rainy treat. With a high of 72°F expected today, the clouds have started rolling in, and they’re carrying with them an 80% chance of rain this afternoon. So, make sure you grab your umbrella if you plan on venturing outside!
Weather Forecast Update
As the light rain makes its way into our area early today, it’s forecasted to stay cloudy, turning into a steady shower overnight, with temperatures dropping to a low of 62°F. Winds will remain light and variable, which is a nice change from the strong gusts we’ve seen in past storms. Please keep an eye on the weather if you have any evening plans and stay safe!
Hurricane Helene’s Aftermath
Meanwhile, communities across our beloved Lakeway Area continue to deal with the fallout from Hurricane Helene. Though we didn’t face the brunt of the storm like those further south, the effects are still quite noticeable. Local agencies are working hard to assist those affected, and it’s heartwarming to see residents banding together to help each other out. If you’re looking for ways to lend a hand, consider reaching out to local organizations that are providing support and resources.
Exciting News from Morristown
