... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 8 am to 8 PM EST
Wednesday...

As low pressure rapidly intensifies off the mid Atlantic coast on
Wednesday strong winds are expected across the coastal Carolinas.
Wind speeds of 25 to 35 mph will develop Wednesday morning and
will persist through early evening. Wind gusts could reach as
high as 45 mph... especially during the afternoon hours.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph or higher are
expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially
for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution especially on bridges
and overpasses. Secure outdoor... light-weight objects such as
trash cans and lawn furniture. As the ground remains saturated it
is possible shallow rooted trees could fall.
