WEATHER: High Winds Today



S
trong low pressure centered over Iowa this morning is creating high winds over the Central States today.


Metro Kansas City along with about the northern half of the MetroRegion is under a NWS-issued "Wind Advisory" until this Friday evening.

West wind gusts of 40-50 mph are possible throughout the afternoon- and will make driving difficult for high profile vehicles such as 18-wheelers and RVs on north-south roadways.

In addition- don't park or stand next to trees today.

Downed trees and/or limbs and power lines have already been reported in Bonner Springs-KS- KC and Raytown-MO- the latter reportedly on a house there with no injuries.
