Batten down the hatches. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a wind advisory for portions of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday.
The advisory warns of strong west winds blowing 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 to 50 mph, which could potentially cause difficult driving conditions and property damage.
Unsecured outdoor objects could become airborne, and should be tied or weighed down. Tree limbs could also be downed, and there is the possibility of isolated power outages due to the strong winds, NWS officials said.
In addition to the wind advisory, the latest Lehigh Valley weather forecast includes a chance of snow showers on Thursday, with little to no accumulation expected. Temperatures are expected to remain chilly the next few days, with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s through Saturday.
