A wind advisory is in effect for Dukes County from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service, which is predicting two bouts of heavy wind today: one early in the morning with south to southwest winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour and accompanied by heavy rain showers, and the other this afternoon as a cold front arrives and winds shift to west to southwest, again with gusts to 50 possible.
