Windy Wendesday

The National Weather Service office out of the Quad Cities has issued a wind advisory for Whiteside county from 9am until 6pm tomorrow. A stong area of low pressure passing from southern Minnesota into Wisconsin on Wednesday will bring strong west/southwest winds to the Stateline area. With the dry slot of this storm system punching through the area around mid-day, some sunshine is expected. This will destabilize the atmosphere enough for stronger, upper-level winds to mix-down to the surface in some areas. Wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph are possible in the advisory area, with 40 to 45 mph gusts across the majority of the Stateline.
