* WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 7 PM CDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Strong and gusty winds will be capable of downing
numerous additional compromised trees which would result in renewed
power outages in vulnerable areas impacted by the extreme winds
during Hurricane Isaias. In addition, large debris piles from storm
cleanup may be blown about resulting in additional hazards to

cleared roadways. Additional road closures will be possible.

homes, and roads in the impacted area. Frequent wind gusts forecast
between 35 and 40 mph will create dangerous conditions outdoors in
the vulnerable areas. Elsewhere, winds may result in large tree
branches downed and localized power outages.
Instruction:
Use extreme caution if you must travel or be outdoors Friday night
through Saturday. Remain alert for potential falling trees and power
lines, blown debris, and additional damage to structures that remain
compromised from the hurricane.
