Heavy rain is expected in Laurel Springs today with a high of 81°F, and a flood advisory is currently active for Wilkes County until early Sunday evening. Wilkes County is also bracing for thunderstorms with pea-sized hail and gusts up to 40 mph on Sunday, so residents should stay weather-aware over the next couple of days. On a brighter note, the county is celebrating its 250th anniversary with a parade, and the Florence Thomas Art School is hosting a fundraiser on August 29th at Old Orchard Creek Farm.
