A Wind Advisory is in effect until 10 p.m. Wednesday for all of Central Virginia. Winds will continue to increase in speed late Wednesday morning, with gusts up to 50+ at times through the day. Sustained winds will be from the West to Northwest at 30 to 40 mph. These winds will be strong enough to cause some power outages and make driving difficult at times. Secure any loose or lightweight items outdoors, including garbage cans, remaining Christmas decorations, and patio furniture. Stay with CBS 6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm.

In other weather news...
If you can brave the blustery winds this evening, step outside and look Southwest at sunset for the waxing crescent Moon and the planet Venus, which will appear as a bright dot just below the Moon. The map to the left shows what other stellar objects will be in your view (image SpaceWeather.com).
Bundle up if you are heading outside to check out the Moon and Venus, or to watch the ball rise in Carytown tonight. Temperatures will be in the 20's at Midnight. Happy New Year!
