[LeArc] Dangerous winds tonight - TUE

[Jesse Risley]

Spotter activation is likely overnight due to the expectation of a fast moving 
squall line associated with a historic low pressure system that is slated to 
gyrate across the Superior Uplands through tomorrow.  There is the potential 
that some short-lived tornadoes could be embedded in this line as well.

IEMA today urged people to be prepared for dangerous situations that  could 
result from high winds predicted for late tonight and Tuesday by  the National 
Weather Service.  The high winds are expected to affect  much of the state, with 
wind gusts up to 60 to 80 miles per hour  possible with the strongest storms.  
Power outages, faling tree limbs  and flying debris could cause serious 
hazards.  For more safety tips  about high winds and severe storms, visit the
