High Wind Warning For Stateline

After a day full of rain, snow, thunderstorms, and dense fog, the Stateline now has to contend with dangerous winds heading into Thursday evening.

High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories are in effect through Friday morning for the entire viewing area. Despite the different warnings, everyone is going to experience the same significant sustained winds and wind gusts.
Models are showing that 55-60mph wind gusts will be possible Thursday evening and overnight. This will cause several problems, including broken trees, unsecured objects that are outside being thrown around, and dangerous driving conditions for larger and high-profile vehicles.

Another concern overnight will the chance snow moving in on the back end of this system. Any snow we see will combine with these powerful winds to create near whiteout conditions. Be extra cautious if you have to go out tonight.


Strong winds will stick around into Friday, with 40-45mph gusts possible into the afternoon before we finally see calmer weather move in Friday night. -BA
