As was discussed wind gusts to near 25 mph is for open prairie locations. In the situation when the location is not as open and trees are blocking the wind, then is is reasonable to anticipate about a 5 mph lowering in wind speed and gusts. This is provided there are no external factors such as thunderstorms or fast moving cold fronts. None of those two things apply here. So updated forecast is below with updated winds. .TODAY...
