Use one of the equalizers.(EQ) Most have presets for attenuating low frequencies. Look for wind, rumble and plosives settings. If not not, just roll off the low frequencies. starting at around 80, 150 or 250Hz., depending on the severity of the noise. In many cases it's impossible completely eliminate the noise w/o some kind of artifacts. YMMV in any case
Get a good windscreen for outdoor work. In conditions with more than just a slight breeze, foam filters are usually not adequate. Look for windscreens from Rycote, Rode and Windtech among others.

Didn't quite give enough information ...

FOAM= not so good
FUR=much better

A FUR windscreen (often called a "dead cat") is the next step up from foam. Even better is a "blimp" type windscreen but that is for special situations, not "on-camera" use.

Another often-overlooked suggestion is to put a wind shield between your mic and the source of the wind. A 12" square piece of foamcore will do nicely. OTOH, if you are shooting into the wind, forget it.

an omni mic will give the best results in wind

"an omni mic will give the best results in wind"

and the worst results on-camera . . .
