(National Weather Service) – Breezy winds out of the northwest will gust 30 to 45 mph throughout the rest of the afternoon, tapering off this evening. This may result in loose objects such as holiday decorations being blown around. It may also make for difficult travel with high profile vehicles, especially during periods of light snow which may reduce visibility at times.
