Unstable weather expected today (Oct. 29); stay informed

by Betsy Chapman

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged today, Oct. 29, to stay informed on weather conditions. A tropical storm warning is in effect and unstable weather is forecast for the Winston-Salem area. Keep cell phones and portable devices charged in case of localized power outages.

The WeatherSTEM stations at the Miller Center (@WakeForestWx) and at Truist Field (@WFUFootballWx) provide real-time weather data for Wake Forest University and surrounding neighborhoods. On Facebook, Wake Forest Weatherstem and Wake Forest Football Weatherstem WeatherSTEM offers apps for iOS and Android.

Weather forecasts are also available on local TV stations WXII, WGHP, WFMY and Spectrum’s News 14 and The Weather Channel.

In the event of a weather emergency, Wake Forest would use the Wake Alert emergency notification system to communicate with students, faculty and staff.  Learn more about alerts and updates from Wake Ready here.
