In addition to the severe winds, the low will bring some rainfall through the day on Thursday. Upwards of 30 mm is possible by Friday morning.
Damage to roofs, fences, branches or soft shelters is likely. Prepare for some disruptions to transportation, services, and utilities. Driving conditions will likely be very difficult.
