Oliver, Pennsylvania

... Wind Advisory in effect until 10 am EST Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect until 10 am EST Thursday.

The National Weather Service says winds can gust over 45 mph
overnight and Thursday morning. This can topple trees due to the soggy
ground and also cause flying objects.

Communities just west of the mountains are most vulnerable til
about 3 am due to downsloping effects as the gusty winds will be
from southeast. After 3 am... a passing cold front will switch the
winds into the southwest. Then all communities can be affected by
the 45 mph plus wind gusts into mid morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts greater than 45 mph are
expected. Winds this strong can topple trees on soggy
ground... cause flying debris... and make driving difficult...
especially for high profile vehicles. So use extra caution.

... Potential for gusty winds overnight...

As a cold front passes through late tonight... gusty winds could
return again. Winds may gust as high as 40 mph after
midnight... especially in areas of higher terrain. In
addition... the gusty winds will be accompanied by another band of
rain showers. There is also the possibility that there could be
an isolated thunderstorm along with the showers. Be sure to secure
light weight objects that are outside... and be cautious if driving
late tonight.

Winds are expected to subside around sunrise on Thursday morning.
Although temperatures will remain steady or slightly increase
tonight... falling temperatures can be expected on Thursday.
