Sunday was a very windy day over Iowa with gusts over 40 miles per hour for much of the state. The featured map presents the average number of days per year that the peak wind gust for the day was over 40 mph. Local terrain and siting can make a big difference for this metric as obstructions will slow down the wind. Today will be another windy day with much warmer temperatures than what we saw this past weekend.
