More Bad Weather News: Damaging Winds for Tonight

The National Weather Service statement warns winds could gust up to 60 mph tonight

 

For Wednesday evening through late Wednesday night, the National Weather Service has issued a high wind watch for us, Groton.

The hazard, the NWS said, would be from damaging wind gusts. Winds from the south will be sustained at 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

The NWS statement read  “these strong winds... in combination with heavy rain... could bring down whole trees... large tree limbs... power lines and unsecured outdoor objects. This could pose a hazard to anyone out driving or walking Wednesday night... and to houses and other structures near larger trees.”

In other words Groton, stay inside!
