Strong Winds and Snow Forecast to Impact the North Central United States on Thanksgiving

• Strong winds will continue to spread across the northern and central Great Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley on Thursday. The strongest winds are expected in eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska, where gusts could exceed 60 mph. This will result in hazardous cross winds for high profile vehicles and blowing dust. Meanwhile, snow will create slick roads from North Dakota
