High Wind Watch Issued

A strong cold front will move through the area Monday bringing with it a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Behind the front, very strong 35-40 mph winds will develop, gusting as high as 60 mph -- prompting the National Weather Service to issue a High Wind Watch for west central Minnesota for Tuesday.

From the National Weather Service: Branches could be broken, and some trees could come down. Power outages are possible. Lighter weight outdoor objects could be relocated. Driving may be difficult, particularly on north/south oriented roads.
