Gusty winds of up to 50 mph are in the forecast for parts of the region today, including Buffalo and northern Erie County.
The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for northern Erie, Niagara, Orleans and Genesee counties from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Winds out of the southwest of 20 to 30 mph, along with the expected gusts, will be strong enough to bring down some limbs and may cause a few power outages, according to the weather service.
Unsecured objects outdoors may be displaced by the winds.
