(AP) — High winds roared through much of Nebraska and Iowa, with gusts of more than 50 mph at the Omaha airport.

The wind was blamed for overturning a truck and trailer on Interstate 80 in Council Bluffs about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, blocking the westbound lanes near the Missouri River Bridge. The trailer was removed and freeway lanes reopened within about an hour.

Earlier Tuesday, a wind gust of 55 mph was recorded at Eppley Airfield in Omaha. Council Bluffs also recorded a gust of 48 mph, and Des Moines had a 45 mph gust.

The National Weather Service says Wednesday should be calm but more windy weather is expected Thursday.
