Gusty north winds will impact the region today in the wake of a strong cold front. Winds on some of the taller bridges and elevated roadways around the Charleston, Beaufort and Savannah Metro Areas and nearby barrier islands, could see gusts as high as 40 mph at times making for hazardous driving conditions. Some of these bridges include the Ravenel Bridge, the Don Holt Bridge, the James B. Edwards Bridge, the Ben Sawyer Bridge, the Isle of Palms connector, the James Island Connector, the Amos Nathaniel Rodgers Bridge, the McKinley Washington Junior Bridge, the Woods Memorial Bridge, the Edward Burton Rodgers Bridge, the Harbor River Bridge and the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. Vehicles driving on these bridges should use extra caution, particularly high profile vehicles.
