A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL BE MARKED BY A WIND SHIFT FROM GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO A PERIOD OF STRONG WESTERLY WINDS. WINDS OF 20
TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE RIGHT
BEHIND THE FRONT.

WINDS THIS STRONG ARE CAPABLE OF DOWNING A FEW SMALL TREE LIMBS
AND BRANCHES...POSSIBLY CAUSING ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES. DRIVING
CAN ALSO BE DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
