A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EST SATURDAY.
SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 30 MPH WILL BE SEEN ACROSS THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS
WILL RANGE FROM 40 TO 50 MPH...MAINLY ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS.
A FEW RIDGE TOP LOCATIONS COULD EXPERIENCE GUSTS TO AROUND 60
MPH. THE WINDS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT...BEFORE DIMINISHING
BY DAYBREAK.
A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 MPH ARE
EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...
ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.
MOIST SOIL CONDITIONS COULD ALSO ALLOW SOME TREES TO BE BLOWN
DOWN BY WIND GUSTS NOT NORMALLY HIGH ENOUGH TO PRODUCE WIND
DAMAGE. USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN DRIVING ABOUT...AND BE ON THE
LOOKOUT FOR ANY DOWNED TREES ON ROADWAYS.
