... High Wind Warning remains in effect until 9 PM EDT Monday...

A High Wind Warning remains in effect until 9 PM EDT Monday.

Strong northwest winds are expected over the area tonight and
through the day Monday. Winds may gust between 50 and 65 mph.
These gusts may be strong enough to down trees... tree limbs... or
power lines. Due to the wet ground and the fact that the leaves
have come out on most trees... winds of this speed could more
easily topple trees.

A High Wind Warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected
or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts
of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.
