Areas of Iowa will see gusty winds today as a weather system moves over the state, some areas of the state have been put under a Wind Advisory. Areas of the state under the wind advisory may see winds average 25 to 40 mph with gusts upwards of 45 mph. Other areas of the state may not see winds that high, but still have gusty winds from the west. These gusty winds although may make it feel a bit cooler, the wind is actually partially responsible for bringing in some very warm temperatures. Temperatures across the state will be nearing the 60 degree mark in western and southern Iowa while areas of northeastern Iowa may only see temperatures in the mid 50s it is still well above normal.
