Wind Advisory Issued: Gusts Up To 55 MPH Expected Tonight Through Sunday
A Wind Advisory has been issued for multiple counties in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, with gusts up to 55 mph expected from this evening until Sunday morning; secure outdoor objects and use caution while driving.
Residents in Ashe, Watauga, Grayson, Smyth, Tazewell, Mercer, Summers, and Western Greenbrier counties should prepare for strong winds. A Wind Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service in Blacksburg, VA, effective from 5 PM this afternoon until 11 AM EDT Sunday, October 11th.
East winds of 15 to 25 mph are expected, with gusts potentially reaching up to 55 mph. These conditions can make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. The public is advised to use extra caution while driving and to secure all outdoor objects to prevent them from being blown around.
The strong winds, influenced by the remnants of Isaias, may lead to downed tree limbs and potential power outages, particularly in higher terrain locations across Northwest North Carolina and Southeast West Virginia. Power outages could occur as a result of downed trees and power poles. Residents are encouraged to monitor local news for further updates and to have a plan in place in case of power loss.
