**WEATHER ALERT**
More rain is expected Saturday through Monday according to the National Weather Service.

Widespread rain is expected Saturday and Saturday night. Rain amounts are forecast to be 0.5 to 1.5 inches. Normally this wouldnt be enough to result in any flood concerns, but with already wet ground, there is a small risk for minor flooding on rivers and smaller water ways.

Very windy conditions are possible late Sunday into Monday. There is a 50% chance that wind gusts will exceed 45 mph which could lead to tree damage. Given the wet ground, tree damage could be more significant than what we typically see at these wind speeds.

To report any power outages please call Jersey Central Power and Light 888-544-4877 or text OUT to LIGHTS (544487). Dial 911 for emergencies only.Image attachment
