Lee County is currently experiencing very strong winds related to a rapidly intensifying low pressure system located off the Mid_atlantic coast that is causing strong winds across the triangle area through part of this evening. These high winds are quite rare for North Carolina. Soil moisture levels across Lee County are very high from all the recent storms which may lead to uprooting trees and damage. We could also minor property damage such as shingles or siding being dislodged this afternoon.
A high wind warning remains in effect for Lee County until 9:00 PM this evening.
Very strong westerly winds will continue across the area this afternoon and slowly subside this evening. Wind gust between 35 and 41 MPH have been observed at the Emergency Services Office this morning. It is currently 34 degrees with a wind chill of 22 degrees. We have the possibility of wind gust this afternoon between 50-60 MPH.
