The entire Mid-Atlantic is expected to feel the impacts from the strong winds.

“People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if you must drive,” forecasters said.

No storms are expected through the weekend.
