The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a HIGH WIND WARNING for our area beginning Wednesday 9 a.m. and will run until 1 a.m. Thursday.

A strong area of low pressure will move from the Central Plains tonight to the Lower Michigan area by daybreak Wednesday. This low will pass well to the north of the Lake Erie on Wednesday dragging a strong cold front across the region. South and southeast winds will increase tonight and Wednesday morning ahead of the front. The strongest winds are expected just behind the cold front.

West to Southwest winds of 25 to 40 MPH with some gusts of 60 MPH can be expected behind this front. The strongest winds will likely occur Wednesday afternoon and evening. The highest gusts will likely occur along the Lake Erie Shoreline. Winds should begin to slowly diminish Wednesday evening.


A HIGH WIND WARNING is issued when sustained winds of 40 MPH are expected for at least an hour – with gusts of 58 MPH or greater at any time. Damage to trees, power lines and property are possible with winds of this magnitude. If you have a high profile vehicle you should take extra precaution until the winds subside.
