Wind Advisory
Statement as of 2:39 am EDT on May 12, 2008


... Lake Wind Advisory upgraded to Wind Advisory... in effect until
6 PM EDT this afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued
a Wind Advisory... which is in effect until 6 PM EDT this
afternoon. The lake Wind Advisory is no longer in effect.

Sustained northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph will continue across the
Piedmont through much of the day. Winds are expected to increase
after sunrise... and gusts as high as 50 mph will be possible from
mid-morning through late afternoon. Winds of this magnitude will
cause a few trees and power lines to fall across the advisory
area. Isolated power outages can be expected.

A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of 46 to 57 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
