Due to the storm this morning some traffic lights may be out. If the lights are out please treat the intersection as a four-way stop and proceed with caution.
Even though a statewide burn ban is in effect, the weather forecast the next several days presents a very high fire risk. It’s even more important to comply w/ the ban because conditions will be such that fires will escape easily & spread rapidly. (Maps courtesy of NWS Columbia)
