Get Ready Form Lots Of Wind

A cold front moving through the area caused the clouds, showers and cool temperatures today, and now we need to get ready for lots of wind.

Low pressure over South Dakota and another low over south-central Canada will begin to combine overnight and strengthen dramatically, and by morning the very strong low will be over northern Minnesota. During the day tomorrow, the low will continue to strengthen and pressure will be down to around 28.50 inches, certainly a very strong storm system. This low will produce very strong winds over the next couple of days from the Plains to the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes, with gusts of up to 55mph possible over northern parts of Greater Nebraska the next couple of days, so High Wind Warnings are in effect. Over southern areas, gusts over 40mph are possible so Wind Advisories are up.

So for tonight, expect any early showers to end this evening, then skies will remain mostly cloudy and it will become breezy to windy with lows in the 30’s, and winds gusting up and over 30mph, especially late.

Expect partly sunny and very windy conditions on Tuesday with highs in the 50’s, and winds gusting up and over 50mph at times over northern zones, and over 40mph across southern areas.

Windy conditions will continue Wednesday, but the winds will diminish Thursday with highs near 60. Friday and Saturday look sunny and pleasant with highs in the 60’s to near 70.
