A high-wind warning will be in effect from 7 tonight until 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo.

The strongest winds are expected late tonight through early afternoon Thursday. Winds will be coming from the southwest at 30 to 40 mph, with gusts up to 60 mph.

Winds of this magnitude will likely bring down a few trees and possibly result in scattered power outages. Driving in high profile vehicles will be difficult, the weather service says.

I just about got pushed all the way to work this morning. The wind made me take a few steps backwards when I was walking across the parking lot, too!
