A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS EVENING.
BLUSTERY WEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 45 MPH
ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THE STRONGEST OF THE WINDS SHOULD BE OBSERVED
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS MAY ALSO OCCUR
EARLY THIS MORNING. THE GROUND IS VERY SATURATED FROM THE RECENT
RAINFALL...THEREFORE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME TREES TOPPLING OVER
IS GREATER THAN WITH DRY GROUND.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
WIND ADVISORIES ARE ISSUED WHEN SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF AT LEAST
30 MPH AND/OR WIND GUSTS OVER 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS OF THIS
MAGNITUDE COULD CAUSE MINOR DAMAGE TO TREES... POWER LINES AND
WEAKER STRUCTURES. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING THROUGH THE ADVISORY
AREA... KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON THE WHEEL... ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE
DRIVING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES AND ACROSS ELEVATED STRUCTURES SUCH
AS BRIDGES.
