High Wind Warning

The main weather story in the short term lies with the strong winds overtaking the region today. Strong northwest winds, with gusts exceeding 45 MPH, will be possible across the entire area, especially during the late morning through afternoon hours. For areas along and north of Highway 6, gusts closer to 55 MPH will be possible. Lighter winds and continued dry conditions are expected to continue for Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. Looking ahead to Friday and the upcoming travel weekend, there is still concern about a system passing through the Plains, bringing increasing chances for snow to the area. There are still many details to iron out in the coming days, so be sure to stay up to date with the latest forecasts!
