wind advisory

Breezy conditions warning

A wind advisory is an official weather alert issued when sustained winds or gusts are expected to be strong enough to cause inconvenience or minor hazards but not severe damage.

Thresholds vary by region but typically involve sustained winds of 25-40 mph or gusts to 58 mph.

A wind advisory is in effect until midnight—secure loose outdoor items.
