A Wind Advisory has been issued for Western Franklin, Eastern Franklin, Western Hampshire, Western Hampden, and Eastern Hampshire counties in Massachusetts. The National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA issued the advisory today, September 26, at 1:24 PM EDT, and it remains in effect until Sunday, September 27, at 12:00 PM EDT.
Northeast winds are expected to reach speeds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts potentially reaching between 35 and 50 mph. These strong winds may make driving difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Residents should use extra caution when traveling.
Potential impacts include unsecured objects being blown around, tree limbs falling, and localized power outages. The National Weather Service notes that the extended duration of these winds, combined with heavy rain and fully leafed trees, could increase the risk of tree damage and power disruptions.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to secure any outdoor items that could be dislodged by strong winds. Be prepared for potential power outages and exercise caution when driving.
