Several instances of flooding are expected today, with potential for unusually significant or widespread occurrences, with windy conditions causing isolated instances of tree damage and power outages.

A wind advisory remains in effect from 5 p.m. today to 3 a.m. Wednesday with winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph expected.

Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

Southeast winds will increase during today and become stronger later this afternoon. The strongest winds are expected to occur this evening, and these could be locally enhanced with a narrow line of intense showers tonight. In addition, saturated ground after multiple rounds of heavy rainfall over the last month results in trees being more vulnerable to strong winds.

Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle.
