...Gusty Winds Through Thursday...

.As a potent storm system moves through the area, southerly winds
will become very strong, with gusts reaching 45 to 60 mph this 
afternoon and evening. Strong winds may cause tree branches to 
break, and the combination of strong winds and wet ground may 
cause some tree uprooting. The upgrade to a High Wind Warning for
the KC metro area southward indicates the area and time where more
frequent gusts to 60 mph are expected, especially as the light 
rain departs to the east.
