Wind Advisory Monday through Tuesday Morning

You're walking out the door to howling winds this Monday morning. On the southern side of a warm front, southerly winds are sustained around 25mph, but are gusting near 35mph. Through the afternoon, winds will continue to strengthen and will gust near 40mph. This has prompted a Wind Advisory to go into effect through southern Wisconsin, along with Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, and McHenry county through 6am Tuesday morning.


If you spent the weekend prepping for the holiday by decorating your yard, you'll want to make sure all of your decorations are secure through the overnight as winds continue to gust near 40-45mph! Especially if you have inflatable holiday decorations.

Even though the Wind Advisory expires tomorrow morning, Tuesday will still be another windy day. Winds will turn to the west behind the cold front tonight, and then to the west northwest late Tuesday. Sustained winds still sit near 15-25mph, with the potential to gust near 35mph to 40mph. Winds this strong would prompt another wind advisory, if it were to continue as forecast. We'll make sure to keep you posted if the advisory gets extended!
