wind advisory
Definition
A weather warning issued by meteorological services, such as the National Weather Service in the US, when sustained wind speeds of 25-35 mph (40-56 km/h) with gusts up to 57 mph (92 km/h) are forecast, potentially causing minor disruptions like downed branches or difficult driving conditions.
An alert advising caution due to hazardous winds that could affect outdoor activities, power lines, or unsecured objects, but not severe enough to warrant a gale or storm warning.
