The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a Wind Advisory, which is in effect until 1 AM EDT Sunday. * A cold front will bring strong northwest wind gusts tonight. This will help to bring in much colder air overnight. * Winds will gust 40 to 50 mph at times, but will subside overnight. Low temperatures Sunday morning will be in the lower 30s in most locations, but middle to upper 20s may occur across the higher ridges near the Virginia border and in the most sheltered valleys. * The wind may knock down tree branches, blow around loose objects, and making driving in high profile vehicles difficult.
