The far east Tennessee mountains and foothills should prepare for high winds this weekend. Strong mountain wave winds are forecast for Friday afternoon through Friday night, with another round expected Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Southerly winds are anticipated to reach speeds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts potentially reaching up to 50 mph. These conditions could result in difficult travel, especially for high-profile vehicles, and the potential for minor damage such as downed tree limbs or power outages.
