In addition to high winds, heavy rain is expected for the area to start the weekend. The forecast is for south winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 45 to 55 mph.
Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Higher gusts are possible with showers and thunderstorms overnight Friday into early Saturday. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
