Wind advisory issued Cobb County

Wednesday is going to be a blustery day for Cobb County and much of Georgia.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for a good portion of the state beginning at midnight Wednesday through midnight Thursday.

Cobb is included in an area in which winds could gust between 30-40 mph during the advisory period (in yellow).

Rain also is expected overnight Wednesday, with a 100 percent chance of rain by sunrise and forecast to taper off by late morning.

The NWS is forecasting that winds in the Cobb and Marietta area will be southeast 25-30 mph, then becoming west 15-20 mph in the Wednesday afternoon.

High temperatures Wednesday are expected to be in the low 60s, with lows Thursday morning falling into the high 30s.

The rest of the week will be sunny, but colder, with highs only in the mid 40s Thursday and Friday and lows at or below freezing both days.
