Warnings and Notices

	Wind Advisory
Statement as of 7:13 PM EST on January 07, 2009 ... Wind Advisory in effect until midnight EST tonight... ... High Wind Warning is cancelled... The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a Wind Advisory... which is in effect until midnight EST tonight. The High Wind Warning has been canceled. Windy southwest to west winds will continue for the rest of the evening across the coastal plain. While the threat of 60 mph winds has decreased... there is still the potential for winds to gust as high as 50 to 55 mph with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph. These strong winds coupled with the saturated soil will likely topple a few trees and power poles... leading to some power outages. Winds will only gradually diminish by late this evening. Motorists driving along Interstate 95 should drive with extreme caution as winds will blow crosswise to the Road. 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. Also... take care to secure lightweight... outdoor objects that may be blown about by the wind.
