A damaging wind event is likely on Wednesday and Wednesday night which could cause damage to trees and property as well as power outages. Severe storms are also possible Wednesday afternoon. There is even a chance of tornadoes if storms organize in a certain way.
Wind gusts Wednesday are expected to be 45 to 55 mph, and even as high as 65 mph. This in combination with saturated ground and recent storm damage has left the area vulnerable to further tree damage and tree failure. Unseen defects will leave many trees vulnerable to this high wind event. The lack of leaves will mean deciduous trees will not be affected in the way they were in September but there will likely still be damage.
