**Milwaukee, WI –** Southeastern Wisconsin is bracing for a windy Saturday, with a wind advisory in effect for the entire region from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Following overnight storms that caused widespread power outages, particularly in Jefferson, Waukesha, Kenosha, Walworth, and Washington counties (with over 1,000 customers affected in each), strong gusts are expected.

A high wind warning, with gusts up to 60 mph, is in place for Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Walworth, and Waukesha counties from 7 a.m. to noon. These conditions could lead to further power outages. The wind advisory for the rest of the region anticipates gusts up to 50 mph.

While temperatures will reach near 60 degrees, the strong winds will make it feel significantly colder. Residents are urged to secure loose objects and exercise caution, especially those attending St. Patrick’s Day parades in Milwaukee.
