... Wind Advisory in effect until 6 PM CST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect until 6 PM CST this evening.

* Winds... prevailing northwesterly winds around 25 mph are expected

frequently gust to around 35 mph. Both sustained wind speeds and
gusts will be higher in elevated terrain... primarily above 1250

driving will become difficult... especially for high profile
vehicles.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds in excess of 25 mph... or
gusts in excess of 35 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make
driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution. In addition... ensure all loose outdoor objects remain
secure... including patio furniture and trash cans.
