... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this evening...
A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this evening.
Northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph are expected this afternoon on the larger lakes in the wake of a strong cold front. This will result in very rough waters on the lakes... making small boats especially prone to capsizing. The winds will become lighter this evening as high pressure builds into the region and the pressure gradient weakens.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
The Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause a very rough chop on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.
Wind gusts of 30 to 40 miles per hour occasionally bring down large limbs and rotted trees causing serious injury and property damage. Exercise caution when outdoors during these strong winds.
