...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A HIGH
WIND WATCH, WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING.

AS AN INTENSIFYING STORM MOVES NORTHEAST OF OUR REGION SUNDAY,
WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM EASTERLY IN THE MORNING TO WESTERLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. BY THE EVENING HOURS, WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE TO 25 TO
30 MPH. DURING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY, SUSTAINED WINDS WILL
INCREASE ON AVERAGE TO BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 
50 MPH. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT SOME WIND GUSTS REACH 55 TO
60 MPH AT TIMES.

WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE, AND WILL MAKE DRIVING
VERY DIFFICULT PARTICULARLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. REMEMBER,
WINDS TEND TO BE HIGHER ON BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED STRUCTURES.
IN AREAS THAT SEE ICING, THE STRONG WINDS WILL ADD ADDITIONAL
STRESS TO TREES AND POWER LINES. 

A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HAZARDOUS
HIGH WIND EVENT. SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT LEAST 40 MPH, OR GUSTS OF
58 MPH OR STRONGER MAY OCCUR. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST
UPDATES REGARDING THIS POSSIBLE HIGH WIND EVENT.
