High Wind Warning

A high wind warning will be in effect from 6 p.m. Saturday until 2 p.m. Sunday. A high wind warning means that a damaging wind event is expected.

Winds will be blowing between 30 to 40 mph, with gusts reaching up to 60 mph, according to the NWS.

“Downed trees and power lines may result in power outages,” according to the NWS. “Minor structural damage will be possible.”

In a high wind warning, the weather service warns those living near large trees should remain in lower levels of your home or seek shelter elsewhere, if possible.
