The National Weather Service in Omaha has cancelled a Wind Advisory that was in effect until Noon today, for the following counties: Pottawattamie, Mills, Montgomery, Fremont and Page. A Wind Advisory remains in effect until Noon for Monona-Harrison and Shelby Counties, and until 6-p.m. for Cass, Adair, Audubon, Guthrie, Dallas, Sac, Crawford and Carroll Counties.

Winds in the Advisory area are expected to be from 25-45 miles per hour during the day today before diminishing later this afternoon and this evening.

The Weather Service says the strongest winds have exited the southwest part of the state and, although it will still be breezy to windy today, westerly winds should be below the advisory criteria for the counties where the advisory was cancelled.
