High Wind Warning Issued for Our Area

A Wind Advisory has been issued for our area by NOAA, effective from tonight to Wednesday, with gusty southerly winds at 35-55 mph and isolated gusts of 65 mph.

This may cause tree limbs to be blown down, resulting in isolated power outages. It is recommended to be prepared with flashlights and extra batteries.

About Advisories and Warnings

A High Wind Warning is issued when winds are expected to be 40 mph or more, and wind gusts are expected to be 58 mph or more.

These warnings help prepare for possible property damage, disruptions to outdoor activities, or transportation issues, such as road closures due to fallen trees or power lines.

Fast winds can make things much more dangerous in places where there’s a bigger chance of wildfires.

In such cases, the National Weather Service issues a Red Flag Warning when it’s very windy and dry.
