…High wind advisory in effect for Antigua and Barbuda…
Locations to be affected: Especially exposed coastal waters and elevated and open terrains, on the windward side of the islands.
Timing: Until Friday Night.
Synopsis: Strong gusty winds, due to a tight pressure gradient, are occurring. Gusts of 76 km/h or 47 mph have been estimated from observed two-minute sustained winds of 59 km/h or 37 mph.
The risk to life and property is low but be aware of potential for gale/storm-force wind gusts and keep across the latest forecasts.
These winds could make some outdoor activities uncomfortable, if not outright dangerous.
Gale-force wind gusts can affect your balance; it’s advisable to avoid exposed elevated areas or getting too close to precarious positions like cliff edges, given the forecast conditions.
High winds could create dangerous falling or blowing objects.
A high wind advisory means strong sustained winds in the range of 40 to 48 km/h (25 to 31 mph, 22 to 27 knots) with higher gusts imminent or occurring.
Wind: East at 31 to 46 km/h (17 to 25 knots; 20 to 29 mph) or near gale at times, with strong gale/storm-force gusts estimated at 76 km/h (41 knots; 47 mph).
Potential impacts: Includes injuries; very hazardous seas; soil erosion; localized disruptions of some businesses; disruptions to outdoor and sporting activities; disruptions of transportation (air and especially sea); vehicular accidents and financial losses.
Caution: Residents should secure loose, light outdoor items, which can be blown away, and caution should be taken when driving. Further, avoid exposed elevated places.
