MPH with gusts up to 30 to 35 MPH and continues through the day.
Winds will switch to the northwest as a cold front sweeps across
the area this morning. The strong winds, combined with warmer
temperatjres and low relative humidity values will results in very
high fire danger for grasslands. Any fires that develop will
spread quickly. The windy conditions will also make travel
difficult for high profile vehicles and for drivers of vans,
campers, and trailers.
Avoid brush or grass burning today, use caution with farm and
outdoor equipment, and do not carelessly discard cigarettes. If
traveling, keep two hands on the wheel and drive with extra
caution.Special Weather Statement2024-03-19T03:03:00-05:002024-03-19T03:03:00-05:002024-03-19T03:03:00-05:002024-03-19T18:15:00-05:00ActualAlertMetExpectedModerateObservedBuchanan; Delaware; Dubuque; Benton; Linn; Jones; Jackson; Iowa; Johnson; Cedar; Clinton; Muscatine; Scott; Keokuk; Washington; Louisa; Jefferson; Henry; Des Moines; Van Buren; Lee; Jo Daviess; Stephenson; Carroll; Whiteside; Rock Island; Henry; Bureau; Putnam; Mercer; Henderson; Warren; Hancock; McDonough; Scotland; ClarkSAME019019SAME019055SAME019061SAME019011SAME019113SAME019105SAME019097SAME019095SAME019103SAME019031SAME019045SAME019139SAME019163SAME019107SAME019183SAME019115SAME019101SAME019087SAME019057SAME019177SAME019111SAME017085SAME017177SAME017015SAME017195SAME017161SAME017073SAME017011SAME017155SAME017131SAME017071SAME017187SAME017067SAME017109SAME029199SAME029045UGCIAZ040UGCIAZ041UGCIAZ042UGCIAZ051UGCIAZ052UGCIAZ053UGCIAZ054UGCIAZ063UGCIAZ064UGCIAZ065UGCIAZ066UGCIAZ067UGCIAZ068UGCIAZ076UGCIAZ077UGCIAZ078UGCIAZ087UGCIAZ088UGCIAZ089UGCIAZ098UGCIAZ099UGCILZ001UGCILZ002UGCILZ007UGCILZ009UGCILZ015UGCILZ016UGCILZ017UGCILZ018UGCILZ024UGCILZ025UGCILZ026UGCILZ034UGCILZ035UGCMOZ009UGCMOZ010AWIPSidentifierSPSDVNWMOidentifierWWUS83 KDVN 190803NWSheadlineStrong Winds and Very High Fire Danger TodayBLOCKCHANNELEASBLOCKCHANNELNWEMBLOCKCHANNELCMASEAS-ORGWXR
