Wind Advisory Issued for Marina Bay and Surrounding Areas
Wind Advisory Issued for Marina Bay Area
High winds up to 50 MPH are on the way for for Marina Bay and surrounding areas from 10:00 AM on February 18, 2024, to 4:00 AM on February 10, 2024.
According to The National Weather Service, residents should take necessary precautions to mitigate potential hazards. Strong winds pose risks — blowing around unsecured fixtures and objects such as furniture, vehicles, and more. Loose tree limbs can be especially hazardous — sometimes being blown down and leading to power outages.
While the advisory encompasses the entire Bay Area and Central Coast regions, residents in Marina Bay are advised to exercise extra caution due to the proximity to the waterfront and loose, flood-prone terrain. Individuals are advised to use extra caution when driving. Be careful if you are operating high-profile vehicles and make sure to secure heavy objects to prevent them from becoming projectiles.
For further information and updates on the situation, residents can visit the National Weather Service website or contact local emergency services. Let's work together to stay safe and prepared as we navigate through this period of heightened weather risks.
