The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory from noon today to 9 p.m. tonight. A wind advisory is issued when sustained winds are expected to reach 30 mph or greater for longer than one hour…or wind gusts are expected to reach 40 mph for any duration.

Winds will begin to increase around midday, with peak wind speeds and gusts occurring during the mid to late afternoon.

Sustained winds 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph, are expected.

Outdoor activities and furnishings will be impacted by high winds. Vehicular traffic, especially high profile
