Prepare For Windy Weekend

todayJanuary 20, 2017

Background
VERY WINDY WEEKEND AHEAD... 
 
A cold front will approach the state from the northwest today 
and this evening, then move down the island chain late tonight 
and Saturday, while a strong high pressure system passes north of 
the islands through the weekend. This combination will bring 
increasing winds to western and central parts of the state late 
tonight, and very windy conditions to all islands Saturday through 
Sunday. The strongest northeast to east winds will be over higher 
terrain, through mountain gaps, and downslope of the mountains. 
Loose outdoor objects may become airborne under these strong 
winds. Prepare now by securing these objects before winds 
increase. The strong cross winds may bring hazardous driving 
conditions, especially for high profile vehicles. 
If you have outdoor plans for the weekend, be prepared for very 
windy conditions. If your plans involve marine activities, you may 
want to consider postponing them.
