...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS
AFTERNOON...

A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 100 PM.

LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES ACROSS
CANADA'S ATLANTIC PROVINCES TODAY.

SUSTAINED WEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH PEAK GUSTS REACHING
AROUND 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED FOR THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
DIMINISH GRADUALLY THIS AFTERNOON.

WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH ARE CAPABLE OF KNOCKING DOWN WEAK TREES,
TREE LIMBS AND WIRES. THE TREES ARE GOING TO BE UNDER PRESSURE
FROM SEPARATE FORCES. FROM THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR
NORTHWESTWARD, THERE IS STILL ICE ON SOME TREES, MAKING THEM
EASIER TO SNAP. TO THE SOUTHEAST, PRECIPITATION TOTALS SO FAR
THIS MONTH HAVE AVERAGED TWICE THE NORMAL AMOUNT. THE
SUPERSATURATED SOIL WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SHALLOW ROOTED TREES
TO BE KNOCKED DOWN.

IN ADDITION TO THE WIND, THIS AIR MASS WILL BE THE COLDEST ONE OF
THE SEASON, SO FAR. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL AVERAGE AROUND ZERO
THIS MORNING, WITH READINGS WELL BELOW ZERO IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY IF YOU HAVE TO SPEND MUCH TIME
OUTDOORS.

BE PREPARED FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. ALSO,
IF POSSIBLE, DO NOT PARK VEHICLE UNDER TREES THAT ARE ENCASED IN
ICE OR ARE SHALLOW ROOTED, SUCH AS WILLOWS.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS OF AROUND 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED.
DRIVING MAY BECOME DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
USE EXTRA CARE.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON MONDAY NIGHT, AS THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER AWAY FROM OUR REGION.
