Wind Advisory Issued through Tuesday Afternoon

A Wind Advisory has been issued for all of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin lasting through 3pm Tuesday afternoon. Peak wind gusts Monday reached 45 mph in some locations, and while winds have come down just a little, gusts are expected to pick back up as colder air arrives from the west.

Wind gusts across the Upper Midwest are gusting close to 45 mph, with a few gusts closing in around 50 mph. While I don't expect winds quite as high as 50 mph Tuesday morning, wind gusts to 45 mph will be possible. Travel on north/south roads will also be difficult through much of the morning and afternoon.
