The forecast is for east winds of 20 to 30 mph, with localized gusts up to 50 mph.
Winds this strong can knock down tree branches, blow around tents and other unsecured objects, and make it difficult to drive, especially for high profile vehicles.
Watch out for falling tree branches when walking or driving. Makesure tents and awnings are secure or take them down. Be prepared for power outages.
