...Strong wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph likely this evening...

As a strong cold front sweeps through the region this evening, a
period of intense wind gusts as high as 25 to 40 mph is expected 
across central North Carolina. These strong gusts will cross the
area west to east mainly between 8 PM and 1 AM. We've already 
seen these gusts knock down trees to our northwest, and a few 
downed trees are possible across our area through the evening. 
This may produce isolated power outages.

Consider securing or bringing loose outdoor objects indoors, and
use extreme caution if you need to be out and about this evening.
Winds are expected to decrease later tonight.
