April is National Autism Acceptance Month. Today's post is a great reminder that we need to think about the different needs of all community members during emergencies (and every day).

A low pressure system will move through the area over the next few days. As a result we will see temperatures decrease as we head into the weekend along with increasing winds and increased precipitation chances for portions of the region.
