The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory through Thursday evening and a Flood Watch from Friday evening through Saturday for the entire WAKO listening area. Winds will pick up from the south at 15 to 25 miles per hour with gusts up to 45 mile per hour through Thursday evening ahead of an impending storm system that will bring extensive rainfall to the area. Periods of heavy rain are forecast for the area Friday into Saturday with total rainfall of 3 to 4 inches possible by the end of the day Saturday. This amount of rainfall will likely cause rapid rises in creeks and streams with low water crossings becoming impassable and flood prone areas to become inundated
