Details
Winds may abruptly shift to the southeast or south and become
quite gusty in the wake of the strong storms over the next hour
or two. These winds could gust 50 to near 60 mph, which could
blow around any loose objects and make for hazardous driving for
high profile vehicles. There have been some reports of southeast
winds gusting over 50 mph along and north of the Highway 30
corridor well after the stronger storms had passed.
