...Strong winds Friday night for North and East Bay Hills...

.A system dropping into northern Nevada on Friday night will
produce a strong pressure gradient across the Bay Area Hills.
Northeast winds from 25 to 40 mph with frequent gusts to 55 mph
will be possible from around sunset Friday night through early
Saturday morning, especially above 1000 to 1500 feet. The hills
of Napa County will likely see the strongest winds earlier Friday
evening as the winds then pass over the rest of the East Bay
Hills and higher terrain of Marin County. This will be the first 
strong offshore wind event of the spring so any weak trees, limbs 
or powerlines may be vulnerable for toppling. Take action now to 
secure loose objects if you have property interests in the North 
and East Bay Hills. Northeast winds 25 to 35 mph are expected in 
the Santa Cruz Mountains as well.
