BULLETIN
North Wilkesboro is bracing for severe thunderstorms today with pea-sized hail and gusts up to 40 mph expected, plus a flood advisory remains active for the county until early evening as heavy rain moves in with a high near 93°F. The community is also celebrating Wilkes County's 250th anniversary with a parade, while the zMAX CARS Tour Doubleheader and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races are happening at the speedway. The recent small earthquake in the NC Foothills and a house fire earlier in the week have kept locals on alert, though air quality remains good.
