High pressure is holding on and the winds don’t look like they will ease for a little while longer. In fact the current wind advisory was supposed to expire tonight, but is now in effect for all islands through Saturday morning.Be alert for falling tree branches and local power outages.
Sustained winds will be strong in the 15-25 mile per hour range, but it’s those gusts that can cause a problem with frequent gusts up to 50 mph.
The strong and gusty winds will be widespread but the winds will be especially strong through valleys, over ridges and mountain tops and where they accelerate down slope over the leeward sides of the islands.
