Minnesota, MN – Get ready for some serious wind, Minnesota! Thursday and Friday are shaping up to be blustery days, with wind gusts reaching up to 48 MPH. While this isn’t a full-on storm, these strong winds will definitely make their presence known, especially if you plan to be outside.
The winds won’t cause major damage, but they will certainly make everything feel a lot colder than it actually is. You might find yourself bracing against the gusts as you head out the door. Whether you’re running errands, walking the dog, or just trying to enjoy a bit of fresh air, the wind will definitely have an impact on your day.
What to Expect:
- Thursday and Friday: Wind gusts of up to 48 MPH are expected, especially in open areas and along highways. It will feel like the wind is everywhere, making even a short walk feel a bit more challenging.
- The strongest gusts will hit in the afternoon through evening, so if you have outdoor plans or need to be out and about, make sure you’re prepared for some wind-whipped conditions.
- Wind chills will make it feel much colder than the actual temperature. So, if it’s 30°F outside, it might feel closer to 20°F with the wind, so bundle up!
What You Can Do:
- Stay indoors if you can! If you don’t need to be outside, it’s probably a good idea to enjoy the warmth inside.
- Be careful driving: If you do need to be on the road, slow down and be prepared for gusts that could make driving a bit tricky, especially on the highways where the wind has a clear path. Keep both hands on the wheel, and remember—safety first.
- Secure outdoor items: Don’t let your trash cans, lawn furniture, or any loose items blow away. Bring them inside or tie them down so they don’t get knocked over or tossed around by the wind.
