The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for portions of southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia as strong winds are expected to move through the region Saturday night into Sunday.<\/p>\n

The advisory<\/a> will be in effect from 8 p.m. Saturday until 2 p.m. Sunday for the higher elevations of Westmoreland, Fayette and Indiana counties.<\/p>\n

Forecasters expect southwest winds of 20 to 25 mph, with gusts ranging from 40 to 50 mph. Communities included in the advisory include Ligonier, Donegal, Champion, Ohiopyle and Armagh.<\/p>\n

\u201cGusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result,\u201d the National Weather Service advisory said.<\/p>\n

In West Virginia, the advisory will be in effect from 8 p.m. Saturday until 11 a.m. Sunday for Preston and Tucker counties. Southeast winds of 20 to 35 mph are expected, with gusts reaching 50 mph.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists expect rain from remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which made landfall Friday as a Category 2 storm near Destin, Fla.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have high confidence in a soaking rain, but risks of significant flooding are low. Clogged storm drains may lead to localized minor street flooding. If safe and if you are able, clean grates,\u201d the weather service said in a social media post.<\/p>\n
