The National Weather Service has issued its first advisory for Wake County related to Hurricane Irene.

At about 12:25 today, the weather service issued a wind advisory for a stretch of the eastern Piedmont from Fayetteville to Warrenton, including Wake and Durham counties, effective from 6 a.m. to midnight Saturday.

The advisory means that 20 to 30-mph winds are possible Saturday, with gusts up to 40 mph. Winds that strong can make driving difficult, especially for trucks, and cause power  outages due to downed tree limbs.
