Forecasts are calling for southwest winds between 15 to 25 MPH, with some gusts reaching up to 45 MPH. The winds are projected to start at around 10:00 A.M. and last to about 8:00 P.M. The advisory will be in effect throughout the entire lower peninsula, especially local counties in our listening area including Isabella, Kent, Lake, Mecosta, Missaukee, Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Osceola, and Wexford.
Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects as well as tree limbs could be blown down. A few power outages may result, and driving can become difficult for lighter-weight vehicles. A few inches of additional snowfall, moving in from the north during the afternoon and evening, may result in blowing and drifting snow.
