'Use Extra Caution': Damaging Winds In MA May Cause Outages

MASSACHUSETTS — The entire state is under a wind advisory Monday, with gusts expected to reach into the 50s, bringing possible damage and outages to the region.

The wind advisory will be in effect until 1 a.m. Tuesday, with sustained winds up to 30 mph, and gusts possible into the 50s. The gusts will likely peak between noon and 6 p.m. from Worcester to Boston.

"Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result," the National Weather Service wind advisory said. "Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects."

But Monday's unsettled weather will give way to a very nice week. Temperatures will rise into the 50s or 60s each day, with the warm temperatures peaking near the mid 60s on Thursday. Each day will also be sunny or partly cloudy, according to the weather service.
