Good afternoon. A strong low pressure system tracking to our south and east will just miss us with precipitation, but we will have some rather breezy to windy conditions over the next couple of days. North winds have taken over, so we will see cooler air tracking into the kwwl viewing area. Despite the cooler airflow, we will stay above normal today with highs in the across the south last night, killing at least three people. Of sugar hill mobile home park, more than 150 homes now just piles of ruble. Here, more than 30 were hospitalized, seven of those critical. The ruble. Toys. A neighborhood wiped off the map.
