A Wind Advisory is in effect from 9am today until 10pm today for Butler, Franklin, Wright, Cerro Gordo and Hancock Counties.
A Wind Advisory is in effect from 9am today until 7am Wednesday for Hardin and Grundy Counties.
Expect south winds of 20-30 with gusts of 45-50 miles per hour.
Elevated fire weather conditions are also expected today as any fire that does start would spread rapidly in these strong winds.
In addition, winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles on east-west highways. Use extra caution.
