The National Weather Service has upgraded its wind advisory for later today through the morning to a high wind warning.
This afternoon NWS issued a high wind warning that expects southeast winds from 20 to 35mph becoming south 30 to 40mph with gusts to 60mph from about midnight until 9am tomorrow.
Previously, the forecast was for gusts to 45mph.
In addition to the high winds, heavy rains are expected to accompany this weather event. A quarter inch is expected this afternoon and upwards of three quarters of an inch is expected.
Outages are a real possibility with wind gusts this high. Given how saturated the ground is, these strong winds could uprooted trees that have stood such winds before.
