Strong winds to blast Finger Lakes through early-Tuesday

Residents across the Finger Lakes should brace for strong winds and rapidly changing weather conditions over the next two days, according to the National Weather Service. A large storm system passing to the north will create hazardous travel and potential power outages for much of the region. The Weather Service has issued Wind Advisories for Wayne and Ontario counties through 6 a.m. Tuesday. Yates, Seneca, Steuben, and Schuyler counties are also under advisories from noon Monday until 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The Cayuga County Legislature will convene at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 28, at the Ward O’Hara Agricultural Museum in Auburn.
