BATTEN DOWN THEM HATCHES

The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a WIND ADVISORY for much of Northeast Ohio beginning at 5 a.m. Monday running through 5 a.m. Tuesday.

A strong Cold Front will approach the region and strong gusty winds can be expected with the front.

Winds are expected to increase to 15 to 25 MPH across western Ohio with gusts up to 45 MPH possible late into the evening. The strong winds will move east across the rest of the region during the morning hours Monday. The gusty winds will continue into Monday with sustained winds of 25 to 35 MPH and gusts up to 45 MPH.

The gusty winds and the fact that trees still have abundant foliage in place will set the stage for the possibility of some trees to be toppled or sustained damage from broken limbs.

The gusty winds are expected to continue into Monday night then finally diminish Tuesday morning.

A WIND ADVISORY is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 31 to 39MPH or gusts will range between 46 and 57MPH. Winds of these magnitudes may cause minor property damage without extra precautions. Motorists in high profile vehicles should use caution until the winds subsides. Be sure to secure loose objects to prevent them from being blown away by the strong winds.
