    High Wind Warning
    Sponsored by State Farm

    Statement as of 4:39 PM EDT on May 11, 2008


    ... High Wind Warning in effect until 9 PM EDT Monday...

    The National Weather Service in Blacksburg has issued a High Wind
    Warning... which is in effect until 9 PM EDT Monday. The high wind
    watch is no longer in effect.

    Strong northwest winds are expected to develop over the area
    tonight and continue through the day Monday. Winds may gust to
    between 50 and 65 mph. These gusts may be strong enough to down
    trees... tree limbs... or power lines. Due to the wet ground and the
    fact that the leaves have come out on most trees... winds of this
    speed could more easily topple trees.

    A High Wind Warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected
    or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts
    of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.
