Some drivers of recreational vehicles, sport utility vehicles and school buses could tip over in strong winds expected to hit later today if they’re not careful, one meteorologist says.
“It’s just basically slowing down and using due care even if you have to stop and continue,” said Frank Ferrell, National Weather Service spokesman in Morristown, Tenn. “If the winds are really bad, you have to just wait them out.”
A cold front is expected to hit the region tonight and will carry winds from the South. Winds will range from 40 to 60 mph and decrease on Wednesday afternoon, said Derek Eisentrout, a spokesman for the Weather Service in Morristown.
“People are probably more accustomed to 5- or 10-mph winds,” he said.
