Butterwick Road, Messingham, was reported to be blocked and Ermine Street, Broughton, passable with care.
This afternoon, high winds also led to the closure of the Humber Bridge to high-sided vehicles and vehicles towing trailers.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service was called to Moorwell Road, Bottesford, after a gazebo blew down down in high winds. The structure was dismantled and made safe.
Late this afternoon a tree was reported to have blown on to the M180, around half a mile past junction five for Barnetby Top.
One lane of the westbound carriageway was closed while work to recover the tree was carried out by the Highways Agency, with support provided by Humberside Police.
It has since re-opened.
