Windy Thursday & Friday


Winds are picking up Thursday in Central Virginia as a strengthening low pressure center east of the Mid-Atlantic coastline tracks northward into New England. While this low remains in our vicinity, winds are expected to remain gusty in the 25-35 mph range in Central Virginia. There is a High Wind Watch for north-central and west-central Virginia, where wind gusts may be as strong as 60 mph. These types of strong wind gusts could certainly cause power outages in those locations. In Southwest Virginia (to the west of the Wind Advisory), that is a High Wind Warning, for similar conditions.
