Our thoughts and prayers to the many fine officers of the Aurora Police Department and all those that responded (including a Wilmington Officer) to handle the active shooter event today. It is unfortunate that this type of incident has become a reality in our world, but it is what we train for. Our condolences to those that lost their lives, and a speedy recovery the all of those injured including the 5 Aurora officers that were shot by the perpetrator.
Temperatures warming well above freezing will result in big time melting of ice left over from Monday's ice storm. This could lead to a falling ice hazard as ice suspended from elevated surfaces/objects like roofs, trees, powerlines, buildings, etc begins to melt and comes crashing down. Stay alert today and when possible avoid walking below areas where ice is suspended above. Heed all warning signs posted by authorities.
WILMINGTON SCHOOLS WILL DELAY OPENING BY 1 HOUR THIS MORNING!
Use caution driving this morning, roads may be slick. Weather advisory for today.Light winds this morning will quickly increase from the west this afternoon. By late this afternoon and into tonight look for west winds of 20 to 35 mph with gusts of 40 to 50 mph likely. Significant ice buildup on power lines and trees limbs will leave them particularly susceptible to the strong winds. Downed power lines and downed limbs onto power lines will likely result in power outages this afternoon and tonight.
