Ariton, Alabama
Town in Dale County, Alabama* WHAT...North winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph expected. * WHERE...Portions of southeast Alabama and Big Bend and Panhandle Florida. * WHEN...From midnight tonight to 7 PM CDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Strong gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and compromised trees. Trees damaged from Hurricane Isaias will be extra vulnerable to the elevated winds that may result in more downed trees in the area. In addition, large debris piles from storm cleanup may be blown about resulting in additional hazards to anyone nearby outdoors. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Frequent wind gusts forecast around 30-35 mph will create dangerous conditions outdoors in the vulnerable areas. Elsewhere, winds may result in large tree branches downed and localized power outages.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Secure outdoor objects. Remain alert for potential falling trees and power lines, blown debris, and additional damage to structures that remain compromised from the hurricane.
