Strong winds could gust at nearly 60 mph late-week

A major storm system will bring strong winds across much of the region late Friday into the weekend.

“I continue to keep an eye on the latest models and they continue to show intense winds pushing across much of the Ohio Valley late Friday into Saturday,” Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Eric Elwell said.

If the European model is correct, there could be some gusts approaching 60 mph.

“While that may be a bit extreme, it is certainly in the realm of possibilities this time of year with big November storm systems,” Elwell said.

For those with plans to get outdoor Christmas decorations ready before Thanksgiving, Elwell suggests waiting until the following weekend to put them up.
