Windy Today

Storms South of I-90 Thru Mid-Afternoon

Windy conditions are expected today as winds out of the south pick up to between 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 mph possible, especially for those west of the Mississippi across Southeast Minnesota. Be sure to secure loose outdoor objects, especially those lightweight, unsecured ones and take caution when driving high profile vehicles on east-west oriented roads this afternoon.

A significant warm up is expected over the coming days with record to near record highs expected both today and Sunday. In addition to the heat, winds today will likely be between 20-35 mph out of the south. The next chance for rain returns Monday with better chances not coming until mid week and beyond.
