Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. The combination of wind and moist soils will increase the risk for downed trees particularly across the North Bay. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A narrow frontal rain band is expected to develop Thursday night into Friday which will result in gusty south winds ahead of and during its passage. Winds will start to ease by late Friday after the frontal rain band has progressed out of the region. Moderate to heavy rains over the last 48 hours have saturated soils across the North Bay which will lead to increased risk of downed trees and power lines as gusty winds redevelop. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution. Secure outdoor objects.
