Wind Advisory
Statement as of 9:15 AM EST on February 09, 2010
... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 7 PM this evening to 7 am EST Thursday for north and central Georgia...
A Wind Advisory remains in effect from 7 PM this evening to 7 am EST Thursday for north and central Georgia.
A cold front will sweep across north and central Georgia today. Strong and gusty winds will develop across the region late this afternoon and tonight behind this cold front... and will continue through Wednesday night. Sustained north to northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph can be expected with gusts to 40 mph or possibly higher.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of 20 mph or higher or gusts to 35 mph or stronger are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Soils across north and central Georgia remain nearly saturated from recent heavy rains... this will put some trees and power lines in danger of falling in the strong winds.
