It looks like wind gusts near 100 mph hit Downtown yesterday around 6:35 pm, but actual measured wind gusts reached category 1 hurricane strength. Today, there will be scattered showers and a few thunderstorms possible. There is a slight chance for a strong storm or two, but not like yesterday. Beginning this weekend, we're entering a calmer, but very warm pattern. Hot weather is a concern because many people may still be without power and air conditioning.
