Harford Under Wind Advisory Monday

With warmer temperatures over the weekend, you may have brought your patio furniture outside. Now, authorities are saying you might want to secure it.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory Monday from noon to midnight, with gusts up to 50 mph anticipated in these areas: Allegany, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard and Montgomery counties.

Power lines and tree limbs may come down, and those driving high-profile vehicles may have difficulties, weather officials say.

The strongest winds will come in waves, the first of which will be midday, followed by another round in the late afternoon through the evening hours, according to the weather service.

A gale warning is in effect on the Chesapeake Bay Monday as well.
