It would appear 2019 is preparing to blow itself out of existence.
One day before New Year’s Eve, the National Weather Service office in Cleveland has issued a wind advisory for all of north central Ohio.
Counties in the advisory area are Richland, Ashland, Crawford, Knox, Lucas, Wood, Ottawa, Sandusky, Erie, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Hancock, Seneca, Huron, Medina, Wyandot, Wayne, Marion, Morrow and Holmes.
The wind advisory, which began Monday at 4:23 a.m., is in effect until 1 p.m. today. The NWS forecast calls for southwest winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour with gusts up to 50 miles per hour.
Weather officials said gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and power outages may result.
Motorists are advised to use extra caution, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. Outdoor objects should be secured.
