Wilkes County is gearing up for its 250th anniversary celebration with a parade today, but residents should prepare for severe weather as a heat dome weakens and thunderstorms move in Sunday with potential pea-sized hail and gusts up to 40 mph. The good news is today stays relatively pleasant at 93°F with overcast skies and good air quality, though you'll want to secure anything loose outdoors before those storms arrive.
