As a system moves through the region bringing widespread rainfall, so will gusty winds accompany this system. First will be gusty southerly winds 25-40 mph starting Monday morning, highest in the southern Red River Valley. Then comes a second wave of gust winds, this time behind a cold front Monday night into Tuesday. This brings 30-50 mph gusts, highest in Devils Lake Basin. Here, gusty winds will blow around unsecure light objects and may bring down small tree branches.
