The likelihood of a significant severe weather event, a wind advisroy and elevated fire conditions are all in play for Friday, March 14. 
The Storm Prediction Center continues to indicate a moderate risk of severe weather development
tomorrow. To provide a little perspective, 2017 was the last moderate risk categorization that included Warren County. All convective severe weather elements are possible, including:
• Damaging straight-line winds approaching or exceeding 80 miles per hour.
• Strong (EF-2 or greater) tornadoes.
• Large hail, possibly up to 2” in diameter.
The storm line will be moving very quickly, possibly at a linear speed approaching 70 miles per hour. It will not remain in any one location for very long.
Onset time is most likely in the 6 p.m.-8 p.m. time frame, but that is NOT a guarantee that we will be in the clear
before 6 p.m. or after 8 p.m.

A wind advisory will become effective at noon tomorrow and persist through 1 a.m. Saturday. Winds
will be steady out of the south at 20-30 miles per hour, gusting as high as 55 miles per hour.
Elevated fire danger conditions will be present Friday from roughly noon onward. Strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels will combine to create conditions that will support the rapid and unpredictable growth of any fire that starts. We are asking that no outdoor burning be conducted tomorrow.
Preparedness Actions:
• Review the severe weather response plan for your home, workplace, etc.
• Know where your severe weather shelter area is – no matter where you are.
• Pay attention to your surroundings and to local weather conditions.
• Make sure the systems or devices you use to receive emergency information are working properly.
• Be prepared to act on any information you receive.
