Wind Advisory Issued For Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore is under a wind advisory Monday calling for powerful wind gusts. Trees may fall and power could be knocked out as a result, according to the National Weather Service, which issued the advisory.

From 2 p.m. to midnight, forecasters say 15 to 25 mph northwest winds and gusts up to 50 mph are possible.

Since the ground is saturated, it will be easier for trees to topple over, according to the advisory.

Gusts could blow down tree limbs and toss unsecured objects, according to the National Weather Service. People should tie down any loose objects outside, officials advise.

Drivers should be extra careful, keeping both hands on the wheel, especially if they are in high-profile vehicles.

The wind advisory applies to Allegany, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Garrett, Harford, Howard, Montgomery and Washington counties and Baltimore City.
