As our weekend system brings rain to the region, we will see a cold front swing through the region this afternoon. A rumble of thunder will be possible with the cold front during the midday hours. However, we will also see westerly winds pick up through the evening as cold air rushes in.
The National Weather Service has issued widespread High Wind Warnings for much of the Mid-Atlantic. These warnings take effect at 10am today and run through 10pm this evening. Wind Advisories have been issued to the south for slightly lower wind gusts.
Our Futureview model shows westerly winds gusting as high as 50mph for much of the region. Gusts could get as high as 60mph for some locations, especially out west and along the Atlantic coastline.
Even the most common items become dangerous objects when picked up and carried by the wind! When a High Wind Watch is issued, secure outdoor items such as patio furniture, sports equipment, and trash cans. High winds can be dangerous! If possible, stay inside. When driving, slow down, keep both hands on the wheel, and keep away from high-profile vehicles. Be aware of loose outdoor items and stay clear of trees.
