All vehicles should expect sudden movements caused by wind gusts, however high-profile vehicles like trucks, semitrailers, and SUVs are more likely to feel the impact of the wind.
Experts advise to always leave plenty of space when traveling on the roads near high-profile vehicles.
Flight delays are also possible for both arrivals into our region and departures outside the area due to the storm system and high winds.
