Marshall, MN – The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for several counties in southwestern Minnesota, including Cottonwood, Jackson, Lincoln, Lyon, and Murray. The advisory will remain in effect until 3 p.m. CDT this afternoon.
Residents in these areas should be prepared for strong south winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts that could reach up to 50 mph. These winds may cause unsecured objects to be blown around and could potentially bring down tree limbs, leading to isolated power outages.
Drivers, particularly those in high-profile vehicles, are advised to exercise caution while traveling, as the gusty conditions may make it challenging to maintain control on the roads.
