...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TULSA HAS ISSUED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR MOST OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
THROUGH 6 PM THIS AFTERNOON.

A STRONG DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION TODAY. SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO AROUND 30 MPH BY LATE
MORNING WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
WINDS IN THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY AROUND FORT SMITH ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN SOMEWHAT LESS WITH GUSTS IN THE 30 TO 35 MPH RANGE.
FREQUENT GUSTS TO 40 MPH WILL BE LIKELY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN
AREAS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO DECREASE BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND GUSTS OF 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED.
WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR
HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

MOTORISTS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING TODAY.  BE ALERT
TO SUDDEN GUSTS OF WIND WHICH MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF
YOUR VEHICLE.  EXTRA ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CROSS WINDS WHEN
DRIVING ON EAST TO WEST ROADS...AND ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.

THESE WINDS WILL ALSO MAKE OPEN WATERS OF LAKES VERY ROUGH AND
HAZARDOUS...AND WILL RESULT IN HIGH WAVES WHICH WILL LIKELY TIP OR
SWAMP SMALLER CRAFT.  FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY...AVOID THE OPEN
WATERS UNTIL THE WINDS SUBSIDE.
