...STRONG WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ON THURSDAY...

A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE
PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS.

THERE WILL BE VERY STRONG WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE AND SOME OF THESE
WINDS MIGHT BE MIXED TO THE GROUND THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
THERE IS UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW EFFICIENTLY THESE WINDS CAN BE
MIXED DOWN. THE THREAT WILL BE GREATLY INCREASED IF THUNDERSTORMS
OCCUR IN YOUR AREA.

BECAUSE OF THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER,
MOST OF OUR AREA IS NOW UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

ALL THE RECENT HEAVY RAIN WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SHALLOW ROOTED
TREES TO BE PUSHED OVER BY THE WINDS, EVEN THOUGH MOST DECIDUOUS
TREES HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR LEAVES. LESSER WIND SPEEDS ON
THURSDAY WILL CAUSE MORE TREE WIND DAMAGE THAN NORMALLY WOULD
BE THE CASE BECAUSE OF THE SATURATED SOILS.

PLEASE USE TODAY TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY PREPARATIONS FOR THE STRONGER
WINDS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY. SECURE ANY LOOSE ITEMS AND ANY
THANKSGIVING OR FOOTBALL OUTDOOR DECORATIONS. STAY TUNED TO NOAA
WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
