...STRONG WEST WINDS TO PERSIST INTO THIS EVENING...

Strong onshore flow has led to west winds gusting 35 to 45 mph
this afternoon, which will continue into this evening. Locally
stronger gusts of up to 65 mph have been observed in the most
wind-prone locations. These winds will continue until about 8 PM,
then gradually ease after sunset.

Winds of this magnitude can blow around loose outdoor objects, so
it is a good idea to secure them if possible. Some tree limbs may
break, leading to isolated power outages this afternoon and
evening.
