Remember that lightning can travel 10 miles in either direction.


The Decatur County Soccer Club will use the Weather Channel

heat index and wind chill on the weather channel is indicated as “Feels
Like”. The weather source should be checked 1 hour before practice and
then your team notified of cancellation.
