Another windy day today - but warm too! High pressure that was centered overhead over the weekend has now moved east over west Virginia. Low pressure builds across the northern Plains and is moving to the east. The Stateline currently sits in between these two systems creating a strong pressure gradient, or difference in pressure. The greater the difference the stronger the wind gusts will be. Today winds will gust up to about 35mph with sustained winds near 15-25mph. This also is contributing to the heightened fire threat today. The strength of the winds will diminish a bit this evening and into tomorrow, but will still gust up to about 25mph. High pressure builds closer to us by Thursday.
