A HIGH WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS
EVENING.

VERY STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...THEN
GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WIND SPEEDS WILL PEAK

RECENT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION EVENTS HAVE RESULTED IN SOGGY

OF WEAK ROOT SUPPORT AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN THE
DOWNING OF NUMEROUS TREES AND POWER LINES. MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
SUCH AS RIPPED SIDING OR SHINGLES MAY ALSO OCCUR.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HIGH WIND WARNING MEANS A HAZARDOUS HIGH WIND EVENT IS EXPECTED
OR OCCURRING. BE PREPARED FOR NUMEROUS DOWNED TREES AND POWER
LINES. DO NOT CROSS WIRES AS THEY MAY STILL BE LIVE.
ADDITIONALLY...STRONG WINDS WILL MAKE HANDLING OF HIGH PROFILE
VEHICLES VERY DIFFICULT. THOSE DRIVING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES
SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION...ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS SUCH AS ON
BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.
