Wind Advisory
Statement as of 9:51 am EST on January 7, 2009

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

Southwest winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts near 50 mph this
morning will diminish through early this afternoon. As cold and
dry advection increase behind the passage of a strong cold
front... west winds will increase to 30 to 40 mph with gusts
possibly as high as 50 mph later this afternoon and through this
evening.

Winds of this magnitude are capable of toppling and blowing away
lightweight items like trash cans and lawn furniture. These items
should be secured or moved indoors.

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of at least 31 mph are
expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult...
especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution on tall
bridges and overpasses.
