City officials continue to monitor a tropical wave in the Atlantic. A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form this weekend, but that forecast could change. Regardless of development, heavy rain and some gusty winds are expected. It’s time to get storm ready.

• Clear all loose items from your yard. This includes toys, sports equipment, yard debris, etc.
• If you do have yard waste, please place it in a can. Loose yard waste can wash away and clog storm drains.
• City crews will be clearing areas around storm drains and ask residents to make sure those areas stay clear.
• Move appliances and furniture into the garage or shed. If that’s not possible, tie the loose items down.
• If you can, clear leaves, branches and debris from gutters.
