WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST MONDAY.
THE NATL WEATHER SVC IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY.WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST MONDAY.
THE DOUBLE BARREL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS AROUND THE AREA WILL MERGE INTO ONE NEAR EASTERN ME OVERNIGHT & CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY ON ITS WAY THROUGH THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON MONDAY.
WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT & PROBABLY REACH THEIR PEAK DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY ON MONDAY. SUSTAINED WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH PEAK GUSTS REACHING AROUND 45 MPH. THESE WIND SPEEDS SHOULD KNOCK DOWN SOME WEAK TREES, TREE LIMBS AND WIRES. THE TREES ARE GOING TO BE UNDER PRESSURE FROM SEPARATE FORCES. FROM THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR & NORTHWESTWARD THERE IS STILL ICE ON SOME TREES. THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO BE SNAPPED. FARTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST, PRECIPITATION TOTALS SO FAR THIS MONTH HAVE AVERAGED TWICE THE NORMAL DECEMBER AMOUNT ALREADY. THE SUPERSATURATED SOIL WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SHALLOW ROOTED TREES TO BE KNOCKED DOWN.
IN ADDITION TO THE WIND, THIS AIR MASS WILL BE THE COLDEST ONE OF THE SEASON SO FAR. WIND CHILL FACTORS COME MON MORNING WILL AVERAGE AROUND ZERO WITH READINGS WELL BELOW ZERO OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY IF YOU HAVE TO SPEND MUCH TIME OUTDOORS.
BE PREPARED FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. ALSO IF POSSIBLE DO NOT PARK VEHICLES UNDER TREES THAT ARE ENCASED IN ICE OR ARE SHALLOW ROOTED SUCH AS WILLOWS. A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS OF AROUND 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT. ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES ESPECIALLY ON NO. TO SO. OVERPASSES. USE EXTRA CAUTION. WINDS WILL DIMINISH MON AFTERNOON AS THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES FARTHER AWAY.
