An area of high pressure will sit off the U.S. East Coast and a trough of low pressure will be over the Northern Plains States. Alabama will be between these two systems, and a low-level jet stream will move over us. This will cause us to become windy. Winds will gust to 35+ mph at times, especially across Western Alabama, or west of I-65, including Birmingham. There is a Wind Advisory in effect until 6 PM. These winds could cause some trees to fall and knock down power lines. Also, make sure to secure any garbage cans or anything that can blow away.
