* WHAT...Southwest winds turning west 20 to 30 mph with gusts around 45 mph expected. * WHERE...Southeast Michigan. * WHEN...From 10 AM Wednesday to 4 AM EST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Windy condition will initially begin across far southern Michigan through the morning hours, expanding north into the remainder of Southeast Michigan through the afternoon hours. Peak wind gust potential with gusts around 45 mph will be most likely from 3PM into the early morning hours on Thursday. Some isolated wind gust potential to 50 mph will be possible within the Thumb, especially along the Saginaw Bay shoreline. Additionally, snow showers, which will build in across the region in the late afternoon and evening hours, will also be capable of producing an isolated stronger gust to 45-50 mph.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
