A Wind Advisory remains in effect until midnight EST tonight for most of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph... with gusts up to 45 mph... will continue across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia into this evening. Wet top soil... combined with the gusty winds will continue to uproot trees across the area.

While the advisory is in effect through midnight... wind gusts strong enough to blow over trees should cease between 6 and 7 PM. A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
