The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a wind advisory for the lowlands of western Whatcom County and San Juan County from 2 a.m. through 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29.

Southerly winds could reach up to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.

Forecasters are warning residents to prepare for a few power outages due to tree limbs being blown down.
