A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6 am EST Friday.

Gusty winds combined with saturated soils from recent heavy
rainfall will lead to downed trees and scattered power outages
today... similar to what was reported across central North
Carolina on Wednesday. Wind gusts between 30 and 40 mph will be
common with infrequent gusts around 45 mph.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 31 to 39 mph or
gusts above 45 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make
driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Drivers
should use extra caution. Be alert for possible branches and
other tree debris in the roadway.
