The NWS said the wind advisory also impacts the coast; there, it's in effect from 10 a.m. Wednesday until 4 p.m. Inland, the wind advisory is in effect from 4 p.m. Wednesday until 12 p.m. Friday.
The NWS said the strongest gusts are expected Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. Northeast winds are expected to be between 25 to 35 mph—with the potential for stronger gusts.
