If you’re planning on doing any burning outdoors Tuesday, that probably wouldn’t be a good idea.

An approaching storm system is bringing some very strong winds with some of us having gusts up to 40 miles per hour, nearly tropical storm strength.

Models are still showing Wednesday’s system we were watching is staying away from us, taking the severe weather event north. We could have a couple showers Tuesday morning, but nothing widespread. Our chances for rain towards the weekend are increasing, however.
