NWS Birmingham has issued a Wind Advisory for Autauga, Barbour, Bullock, Dallas, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, and Russell counties starting at 7:00 am Wednesday and set to expire at 7:00 pm Thursday.

Sustained winds out of the east at 25 MPH with gusts up to 35 to 45 MPH are possible and could blow around unsecured objects. Weaker trees and tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of 35 mph or more are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult…especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Secure all loose outdoor objects.
