THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING TO 6 PM EST
THIS AFTERNOON.

A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WILL GENERATE
INCREASINGLY STRONG WINDS AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES. THESE WINDS
WILL LESSEN GRADUALLY AFTER SUNSET.

IN THE MEANTIME...WE CAN EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH
WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MPH. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE
DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE
EXTRA CAUTION. THESE WINDS MAY ALSO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING
DOWN BRANCHES OR EVEN SMALL LIMBS THAT COULD CAUSE SOME POWER
INTERRUPTIONS.

IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES LOWERING TO AROUND THE FREEZING MARK
OUTSIDE OF THE IMMEDIATE METROPOLITAN AREA EARLY ON THIS MORNING
MAY CAUSE SOME PATCHES OF BLACK ICE TO DEVELOP ON OUR ROADWAYS.
THIS WILL MAKE FOR SOME VERY SLIPPERY AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS SO MOTORISTS WILL NEED TO EXERCISE CAUTION.
