flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

... Wind Advisory in effect until 2 PM EST this afternoon... 

* what... southeast winds 15 to 30 mph with gusts between 40 and 50
  mph expected.

* Where... Bristol RI, Newport RI and Block Island RI counties.

* When... until 2 PM EST this afternoon.

* Impacts... gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. 
  Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may 
  result.

Precautionary/preparedness actions... 

Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high
profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.
