The wind advisory is because of the pressure gradiant difference between the high pressure we have now and Noel. Even without Noel hitting or near us it will still be windy. It looks for now that we will be on the west side of the storm which has less rain and wind, though it will still be unpleasant. Most likely it will feel like the weather we had last Thursday & Friday, with wind and intermittent downpours/thunderstorms.

Be cautious, but don't freak out. Being that our power system is somewhat worse than the one in Bagdad, I'm sure there will be scattered outages, but not anywhere like WIlma.

Hopefully, some of it goes into Lake O.

We will probably get warnings for Noel sometime tonight.

A high wind advisory means winds in excess of 40 mph with the possibility of a gust up to 58 mph.
