Southeast Alabama under a wind advisory Friday

The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory at 1:57 p.m. on Thursday valid for Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. for Coffee, Dale, Henry, Geneva and Houston counties.

“South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph expected,” states the weather service. “After last Tuesdays strong winds and severe storms, some trees and limbs will be more vulnerable, resulting in a lower wind speed threshold than typical for damage. This could result in additional power outages.”

“Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result,” comments the weather service. “Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.”
