Wind Gusts Today

Here are some peak wind gusts from today across the Stateline viewing area:

Freeport: 41 mph
DeKalb: 41 mph
Elburn: 52 mph
Rockford: 41 mph

I also received a report of a transformer that was blown-out in the town of Byron due to the high winds! Fortunately, the winds are expected to be a lot lighter on Wednesday afternoon, with peak gusts only around 23 mph or so. An area of high pressure settling in from the west will decrease the pressure gradient across the area, and less wind will be the (welcome) result!  --TS
