An AEP Weather Alert: Unseasonably warm, moist air will arrive in AEP’s East Utilities today ahead of an advancing cold front.

This will most likely result in a broken line of strong-severe thunderstorms crossing the utilities this evening into tonight. The winds aloft will be exceptionally strong…making it probable that some of the thunderstorms will mix down damaging wind gusts.
