A High Wind Watch has already been issued for northern Illinois
beginning Wednesday morning, and lasting through Wednesday evening. Low
pressure over the Rockies Monday evening will strengthen as it moves
northeast, lifting through Kansas City, Iowa and eventually into
Wisconsin by Wednesday evening. Northern Illinois and southern
Wisconsin will remain on the warmer side of the system, bringing mostly
rain Tuesday and Tuesday evening. There could even be a few
thunderstorms Tuesday night.
As the low moves into Wisconsin Wednesday it will continue to
strengthen. This will cause the wind field around the low to increase
significantly, producing wind gusts 40-45 mph, possibly up to 50 mph in
some locations. The wind direction on Wednesday will be from the West,
making travel on north/south roads difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. It's also possible that sporadic powers outages could
occur during the day. Loose objects and even small branches could
break and fly around. A High Wind Watch will go into effect Wednesday
morning, lasting through Wednesday evening.
