A wind advisory is in effect across our coverage area through early Friday morning, with some wind gusts expected to reach 40-45 mph.
Those with loose outdoor objects including Christmas decorations, etc. should take precautions to secure them before Thursday. Drivers should exercise caution, especially when driving high-profile vehicles.
Much colder air will move into the area as the system passes, and may change rain to snow showers in the eastern parts of our coverage area. High temperatures on Friday will only reach the upper 30s.
