The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for our region above 3500 feet. Winds on the ridgetops will be coming out of the southwest 2 to 35 mph, gusting to 50 mph or more overnight tonight and into the morning on Saturday. The full text is at the end of this update.
Winds will not be as high for us in the valleys, but we will notice the higher winds. Our impact will be in the form of power outages as winds at higher elevations knock tree limbs and trees onto power lines and cause scattered power outages.
