Winds have picked up today along with pockets of light rain. Winds will begin to ramp up first thing in the morning, then the height of the storm will be Monday afternoon. Winds may gust close to hurricane force in some areas leading to widespread power outages. High waves will also cause major coastal flooding in some south coastal locations. I highly suggest that you stay inside during the height of the storm because of the danger of downed power lines.
