northeast winds today into this evening. These winds... from
interior sections of the lower Maryland Eastern Shore... to
interior eastern... central and south central Virginia... and
interior northeast North Carolina 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 to
45 mph into this evening. The winds will gradually weaken today
through Friday as the high pressure system moves northeast into
the northern Atlantic... and the area of low pressure begins to
move east... and out to sea.

Gusty winds and saturated ground may cause downed trees... and also
result in scattered power outages.
