The National Weather Service office in Johnston has issued a wind advisory for the Perry area until 8 p.m. Sunday, with northwest winds of 25 to 30 mph forecast, gusting to about 45 mph.
The NWS noted that fire weather conditions will be elevated Sunday due to the high winds and low relative humidity, particularly over northern Iowa, where fuels remain more cured.
Monday will see similarly strong, gusty winds and elevated fire weather, the NWS said.
Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high-profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.
