High wind gusts and heavy rain's are on the way for tonight.

Well we have new update's to talk about and one of the think's I have been watching very closely all day is wind gusts. We could see some very high wind gusts as high as 40 to 45mph!!!!! starting in the morning after 9:00am or 10:00am and could go through 3:00pm before it die's down. That and rainfall we could also see rainfall as high as 3" inches. Not only that but so far today we have been haveing some high wind gusts of around 30 mph and we could see this till around 7:00pm before it die's out. Most of us got a quick wake up earlyer this morning by our weather radio's with a tornado watch! thank goodness there was no tornado reports. Most of the storm's stayed up by Newton, Jasper, and Benton, countie. Back here in Lafayette we had a total rainfall amount of .30" this morning but other places like up in Jasper, countie had 1.12" 1.29" and 101" inches in there rain gauge's. So we will keep a close watch on thing's tonight I will be right here keeping watch for as long as I can. It is not everyday we get a tropical depression! in our area!!
So stay tuned and stay safe.....
