I don't think that I could land my RV-6 with winds 200-210.  Sounds
like fun wish that I was closer.

Jerry,
Just fly a little south of I39 and let the winds blow you back to I39.
Winds 200-210mph, cruise (at) 170mph = - 30-40mph about 20-30minutes flying
backwards. Piece o' Cake. LOL!!!!
Wish that I could attend but have to work at hospital Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon.
Flu has a lot of hospital staff down.
Dana, don't have too much fun with 'Black' back in the air. Eat some wings
for me.

I just checked the weather for our area for today and tomorrow. You can
expect winds of 15-25mph, per the latest report I've seen. Around here,
that means one should be prepared for winds gusts of over 30mph because
that's how our days are, lately. Right now, it's blowing 18-24; and, it's
just 7:30AM. I'm not trying to scare anyone off from the event because it's
a good one. I just want to alert you to the fact that you can expect some
turbulance in the area because we have knobs just south of I39 that can stir
it up, a bit. The terrain at the airport also drops off on the west side of
the field, which can promote some of the same. Just be prepared for some
rocking and rolling. Because I'm not as assertive in my flying as many of
you, and don't want to test my skills and insurance with winds over 30mph,
I'll probably drive over there, if I get to come. It's just an hour's drive
for me.
Have a great day! Tomorrow looks like it will be a good one.

As Jim says C the prediction is for winds around 20-23.
http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KLEX&state=KY
That will put us landing on 18. Using the rule of thumb C the crosswind component would be 6.6 to 7.6 at 20 degree offset and 13.3 to 15.3 at 40 degree offset. Not factoring in any gusts C plan on some wind.

Last minute Weather Channel update still shows winds from the SSW at
15-25mph. Yesterday, I also heard a prediction for winds with gusting over
30mph from a local radio station. This would be more normal, given Weather
Channel's prediction.
The temps will be in the mid 70F range, though. Should be a nice day, other
than the wind. Be careful out there.
At DVK, which is about 28 miles west of I39, the wind was from 210 at 8kts
and clear below 12000 at 6:00AM.
I hope this helps.
