Wind gusts in Winner on Sunday reached 60 miles an hour.
Winds were strong this weekend across the state with several wind advisories posted.

The Winner/Colome club baseball team defeated Todd County 15-1 in five innings Saturday at Leahy Bowl.
The Royals started off the first inning with four runs and added nine more in the second inning.
Kelly O’Bryan was the winning pitcher.
Holden Thieman had a triple, double and a single with 2 RBIs, two runs scored and two stolen bases. Riley Calhoon had a double and a single with 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored and 3 stolen bases. Reed Harter had a single, 3 runs scored and 2 RBIs.
Coach Drew Weber said it was nice to get another win early in the year. “We were able to get 16 different guys into the game and we showed some great patience at the plate. Our pitchers did a solid job of throwing strikes and we played OK defensively,” said Weber.
“We have a long way to go to get to where we want to be and that starts by not striking out so much, which we did Saturday. Some of that can be attributed to our youth and inexperience and I feel confident that we will continue to make big strides as the season goes on.”
The junior varsity won 8-7 in five innings on a walk off single by Joren Bruun. Phillip Jorgensen earned the win on the mound.
