...GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEW YORK STATE AND NEW ENGLAND AND LOW 
PRESSURE ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A 
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW THIS AFTERNOON, TONIGHT, AND INTO SATURDAY.

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE LATER TODAY AND PERSIST THROUGH 
SATURDAY MORNING. ALONG THE COAST, WHERE A WIND ADVISORY IS IN 
AFFECT, SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO
AROUND 45 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED. AWAY FROM THE WATER, WINDS WILL
GUST CLOSER TO 35 MPH.

THE SAME LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HELPING TO PRODUCE THE WINDS IS ALSO 
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAIN. ONE TO TWO INCHES COULD ACCUMULATE BY 
DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY. THIS IS LIKELY TO CAUSE SOME NUISANCE FLOODING 
WHERE WATER DOESN'T DRAIN WELL. 

THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF THE GUSTY WINDS AND THE RAINS COULD ALSO 
KNOCK DOWN SOME SHALLOW ROOTED TREES CAUSING SCATTERED POWER 
OUTAGES. THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR CLOSER TO THE COAST WHERE THE 
WINDS WILL BE THE STRONGEST.
