Wind Advisory Until 7:00pm Monday The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Wind Advisory. It is in effect until 7:00pm Monday. Winds, west at 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are likely. The strong wind gusts may bring down tree limbs and utility lines. Scattered power outages are possible. The strong winds may make driving difficult especially for those operating a large vehicle. Drought Warning In Effect Northampton, Carbon, Lehigh and Monroe counties are now under a drought warning. Residents and businesses, particularly in central and eastern counties, should use water wisely and follow simple water conservation tips to ease the demand for water. Citizens are encouraged to voluntarily reduce their water use by 10-15 percent.
Data from the Commonwealth drought monitoring network shows dry conditions persisting in the middle of the state and lack of precipitation in the eastern part of the state have deepened precipitation deficits, resulting in extremely low stream flow and groundwater levels, particularly in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas in the Delaware River Basin. The Department of Environmental Protection encourages all citizens to take these steps to reduce their water use:

ORLANDO, Fla., (UPI) -- Disney World has implemented hundreds of drones to illuminate the sky for a special holiday light show.
The new show known as "Starbright Holidays -- An Intel Collaboration" features 300 illuminated drones choreographed to create images including a Christmas tree, birds and others while holiday music plays in the background. "'Starbright Holidays -- An Intel Collaboration' showcases the latest innovation in storytelling and spellbinding experiences to set your holiday season aglow at Walt Disney World Resort," Disney Parks said. The 5-minute production is the largest drone performance in the United States and is scheduled to take place regularly at the Disney Springs shopping center "later this holiday season," the Orlando Sentinel reported. The Styrofoam Intel Shooting Star drones weigh about as much as a volleyball and are equipped with LED lights capable of creating 4 billion color combinations. "We are excited to work with Walt Disney Imagineering to bring a fresh and innovative approach to its world-renowned light shows," Josh Walden, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's New Technology Group told WPTV. "Together, we worked to tackle the new frontier of entertainment, picturing the sky as our canvas, and flying lights as ink."
