    While there is still a lot of uncertainty with regards to where Sandy will come ashore late this weekend/early next week...there are things you can do now to begin preparing for potential impacts.
    Our latest forecast models continue to indicate that Sandy will impact the northeast early next week, including our area. We want to stress that now is the time to monitor and prepare for these possibilities, but not panic. We are still many days away from the storm. To help you prepare we have some suggestions on this graphic on what you can do. Please share this information with others.

    Much of the lower 48 states will be void of thunderstorms today, given the recent intrusion of cold stable air into the country. An increase in thunderstorm chances will begin on Wednesday from CA and the Great Basin eastward through the southern plains to lower Mississippi valley.

    A critical fire weather threat is expected across southern WY and portions of NE, IA, and south-central MN as strong winds align with warm temperatures and dry conditions. Any fires that start may spread quickly.

    While there is little threat for severe weather today, critical fire weather conditions are expected over several areas from the Northern Plains into the Rockies. Very dry conditions and gusty winds will result high fire danger today across these areas. For more information see our Day 1 Fire Outlook: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/fire_wx/fwdy1.html
