4:19 PM: Get everything charged, just in case … the National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory for our area, covering 7 am-7 pm Monday. It’s predicting “South (wind) 25 to 35 mph, with gusts 50 to 55 mph.” You can read the full alert here.
MONDAY MORNING NOTE: As of just before 8 a Monday, the alert has been raised to a High Wind Warning, with gusts possible to 60 mph, in effect through 9 pm.
Pounding rain and wind woke me up out of a dead sleep around 2am. Then it died down. Now it is just really windy.
What is the difference between “warning” and “advisory?” When I clicked on the link it only showed “warning.”
That’s because (see last line) it was raised this morning to a warning. Advisory means, this is probably going to happen and it’ll be kind of serious – warning means, they believe it’s imminent. It was “only” an advisory from the time we published this story last night until the alert level was raised just before 8 am.
Sorry, comment time is over.
