Your Morning Wake-Up Call for July 28, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jul 28, 2011 12:30PM

Our Twitter feed was abuzz last night with updates about how wicked the lightning was that passed with the storms overnight. It was impressive, but we've seen better electrical storms. We might see better this afternoon when the storms that are forecast by Skilling Central for the afternoon supposedly arrive. (Accuweather is predicting one strong thunderstorm.) We've got a chance for showers early today and the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch and a heat advisory for the area.
