IMPACTS: Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be difficult especially for high profile vehicles.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Saturated soils will make it easier for trees
to come down in these winds. Winds will be coming from an atypical
direction, which may exacerbate impacts.

and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home
during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if you must
drive.
