Wind Advisory Kicks off Work Week in Yorktown

SOMERS, NY — The National Weather Service has two notices out for northern Westchester:

• Hazardous Weather Outlook
• Wind Advisory until February 13, 06:00 PM EST

The winds are from 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. That's enough to blow down limbs, trees and power lines.

Colder air is advancing into the region on the backs of these northwestern gusts, said Alex Marra of Hudson Valley Weather.

However, meteorologists are downplaying the changes for another storm midweek, as new models show different timing and paths for two fronts that looked last week as if they'd combine over the region.

Here's the NWS five-day forecast for northern Westchester:
