...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PST FRIDAY...

* WHAT...South winds 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected,
  locally higher gusts greater than 65 mph are possible above 2,500
  feet.

* WHERE...Coastal and higher elevation regions of the North Bay, the
  city of San Francisco, the East Bay and Santa Clara Hills, Santa
  Cruz Mountains and San Mateo, the Gabilan Range, the Santa Lucia
  Range, southern Monterey Bay, and coastal Big Sur.

* WHEN...Until 10 PM PST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree
  limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. The
  combination of wind and moist soils will increase the risk for
  downed trees particularly across the North Bay.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A narrow frontal rain band is expected to
  develop Thursday night into Friday which will result in gusty
  south winds ahead of and during its passage. Winds will start to
  ease by late Friday after the frontal rain band has progressed out
  of the region. Moderate to heavy rains over the last 48 hours have
  saturated soils across the North Bay which will lead to increased
  risk of downed trees and power lines as gusty winds redevelop.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Secure outdoor objects.
