More wind

It's already rather windy in Porirua today, but the MetService has given us a Severe Weather Watch for strong winds for tomorrow.

There could be a spell of severe northwest gales about the hilltops of Wellington and exposed areas of Wairarapa on Sunday. Forecasters will maintain a watch in the meantime. There is the potential for damage to trees, powerlines and insecure roofs and driving conditions could be hazardous for motorcylists and high sided vehicles.

EDIT: Watch has been uprgaded to a warning for severe gales through to Sunday evening - gusting to 120km/h in exposed places.
