On Thursday at 6:11 a.m. a wind advisory was issued by the National Weather Service in effect until 3 p.m. The advisory is for Davie, Rowan and Cabarrus counties.

“Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph,” can be anticipated according to the NWS. “The approach of Tropical Storm Debby this morning and afternoon will bring frequent wind gusts to the western Piedmont and northern Upstate of South Carolina. Gusts as high as 45 mph, combined with wet ground from all the rain expected, will allow the wind gusts to blow down scattered trees across the region. This could result in dangerous driving conditions and scattered power outages.”

“Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result,” comments the NWS. “Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite source of weather information for the latest updates.”
