High Wind Watch
Issued by the National Weather Service at 4:39 am EST on February 9, 2010
... High wind watch in effect from Wednesday morning through
Wednesday evening...
The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a high wind
watch... which is in effect from Wednesday morning through
Wednesday evening.
Very strong northwest winds will develop across the region on
Wednesday... gradually diminishing Wednesday evening and into the
overnight hours. Sustained wind speeds will peak during the
late morning and afternoon hours... ranging from 25 to 30 mph
with damaging wind gusts 40 to 50 mph possible.
Recent widespread precipitation events have resulted in soggy and
wet soils across central North Carolina. The combination of weak

damage to trees and power lines.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
