Wind advisory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wind Advisory)
A Wind Advisory is generally issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when there are sustained winds of 25–39 miles per hour (40–63 km/h) and/or gusts to 57 miles per hour (92 km/h) over land. The product is site specific, but winds of this magnitude occurring over an area that frequently experiences such wind speeds will not trigger a wind advisory.[1]
