Winds an issue again today

Wind gusts Tuesday afternoon topped out near 45 mph for a time during the afternoon, and while we won't have that strong of a wind today, wind gusts near 30 mph will be very common in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

Strong low pressure in the northern Great Lakes, while slowly shifting further east, will still have an impact on our winds today and tonight.  Each day the wind will ease, but gusts near 20 mph will be possible through Thursday afternoon.

Tuesday's wind gusts were definitely the strongest we'll feel this week, but lose objects and even garbage cans could still fly around today.  And, watch out for those shopping carts in parking lots!
