Consequence
Loose items may be taken by the wind. Possibly cancelled departures for ferry, plane, or other transport. Bridges may be closed. Some journeys may have longer travel times. The power supply may be impacted, due to tree(s) falling over. Some roads may be closed due to trees or other objects in the road. Blowing snow causes reduced visibility and possibly convoys and/or closed roads.
Advice
Secure loose objects. Avoid unnecessary journeys to exposed places. Follow advice and check status from transport operators. Check road reports (175.no). Be careful in coastal areas. In advance consider measures to limit damage.
Description
Locally strong wind gusts around 35-38 m/s are expected from northwest and storm force 10 at the coast, also wind gusts around 27-29 m/s in inland parts. The wind will increase first in west, and decrease last in east. The forecast is still uncertain.
