[Editor's Note: I didn't post the weather forecast for it, because it takes too long to resize the photos and straighten out the mess of their text. If the wind is blowing hard, be prepared for there to be road issues on I-10 in the two counties and on some of their other roads, too. Be the smart people you are and keep track of the weather, often by just looking out the window, and be prepared!]
