Our region is under a High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory through Monday. The strongest winds are expected tonight where many places could have gusts between 45 and 60 mph. Some already have.

At 6 PM the fastest winds speeds around the area were cranking on the western areas and just reaching metro Washington. These were just about to reach the Chesapeake Bay ares. These include:

• Dulles = 49 mph
• Frederick = 48 mph
• Hagerstown = 43 mph
• Winchester = 41 mph
• Westminster = 31 mph
• BWI  = 18 mph
• Annapolis = 5 mph

If you do not have the strong winds yet, you will very shortly.

I wanted to put together a few ways for you to track the weather with a couple of widgets. First a remind of the locations affected:

High Wind Warning/Wind Advisory

• The winds will pick up this afternoon and if you read my report yesterday you saw the strongest winds would reach north central Maryland. This now includes Cecil, northerner Harford/Baltimore, and Carroll Counties. Along with Frederick and westward in Maryland plus southern Pennsylvania: Wind speeds may gust to 60 mph
• The Wind Advisory for the rest of central and Southern Maryland: Wind Gusts to 50 mph
• There is a very real concern of trees coming down and power being kicked out.

Zoom In and click for a spot to show the latest wind speed (I am not sure if peak gusts are shown)
