Statement as of 2:48 PM EST on December 28, 2009
... Wind Advisory in effect from midnight tonight to 6 PM EST
Tuesday...
The National Weather Service in Sterling Virginia has issued a
Wind Advisory... which is in effect from midnight tonight to 6 PM
EST Tuesday.
Low pressure will develop off the New England coast tonight into
Tuesday. The pressure gradient between this low and high pressure
over the plains will bring gusty winds to the Washington and
Baltimore metropolitan areas as well as north-central and lower
southern Maryland overnight through Tuesday. West-northwest winds
will be sustained around 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts over 45 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
