HAZARDOUS WEATHER... * Northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph will gust to around 45 mph this afternoon and early evening. *
Isolated stronger gusts to around 50 mph are possible... especially with any showers or storms that move through the area. IMPACTS... * Driving may become difficult, especially in high profile vehicles. In addition, unsecured outdoor items will be blown around. *
Downed tree limbs and power lines are possible and may lead to sporadic power outages. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 30 mph or gusts of 45 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult...especially for high profile vehicles.
..Becoming Windy and Colder This Afternoon... Winds will increase to between 20 and 30 mph this afternoon with gusts of 40 mph as a strong cold front moves through the region. Winds near the lakeshore could gust up to 50 mph for an hour or two immediately behind the cold front. These stronger winds along with increasing waves to between 10 and 15 feet may lead to minor lakeshore and beach flooding late this afternoon and this evening. Showers are also expected to develop and a few of these may produce thunder along with small ice pellets and even brief snow showers inland. No accumulation is expected due to the brief duration and warm ground but visibilities could briefly be reduced. These stronger showers may also produce stronger wind gusts of 45-50 mph away from the lake which could cause driving difficulties and blow around loose, unsecured objects.
