JRWeather HIGH WIND WARNING
     JRWeather has issued a High Wind Warning For Grand Isle, Franklin, Chittenden, Lamoille, Washington, Addison, Rutland, and Bennington Counties in Vermont and all of Northern New York Until 12PM Thursday.

     A strengthening low pressure system over the Midwest region, combined with a high pressure system over the Atlantic will result in a tightening pressure gradient. This will result in strong winds across the entire region. Winds will range from 25-35MPH with gusts in excess of 55MPH. Winds of this magnitude are strong enough to cause small/ weak trees and large limbs to fall resulting in the potential for power outages, and of additional concern, since its the holiday season, holiday decorations stand the threat of being damaged, and blown around. It is recommended to secure loose objects, as well as holiday decorations so damage will be minimal if any.

     Winds should diminish throughout the afternoon on Thursday thus ending the high wind threat. A High Wind Warning is issued when sustained winds of 40MPH or greater and/or gusts to 55MPH or greater are expected. Stay tuned for further updates.
