Strong winds are expected through this evening and overnight

The National Weather Service is forecasting a significant wind event that could impact our area.

Possible impacts include:

• Power outages

• Downed trees and power lines

• Hazardous travel conditions

How to prepare:

• Secure loose outdoor items (furniture, trash bins, decorations)

• Charge phones and essential devices

• Have flashlights ready

Travel only if necessary

Falling branches, debris, and power lines can create dangerous conditions, especially after dark.

Avoid coastal and beach areas

Conditions can change quickly, and high winds may cause unpredictable hazards near the shoreline and cliffs.

Stay informed

Emergency alerts may be issued as conditions change. Keep your cell phone alerts on or a NOAA weather radio nearby if you have one.
