A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 20 to
25 mph or gusts of 30 to 39 mph are expected. Small boats will be
especially prone to capsizing. Boaters in the advisory area

inlets. High profile vehicles should use extra caution when
traveling as well.

A hard freeze watch means that temperatures less than 27 degrees
are possible for at least 2 hours.
