Wind Advisory
Statement as of 11:10 am EST on January 7, 2009

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until midnight EST tonight...

Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph... with gusts up to 45 mph will
continue across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia into
this evening. Wet top soil... combined with the gusty winds will
likely cause a few trees to become uprooted... resulting in
possible power outages and blocked roads.

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds
this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
