...GUSTY WINDS AND BLOWING DUST THIS AFTERNOON...

Gusty westerly winds of 35 to 45 mph will continue through this
afternoon. Winds of this magnitude will blow around light objects,
down small tree branches, and generate hazardous travel
conditions for high profile vehicles, especially on north-south
oriented roads. Additionally, these winds are also generating
instances of blowing dust and may lead to locally reduced
visibilities under 1 mile at times.

Use caution if traveling along north-south oriented roads and if
traveling in open areas, particularly around freshly tilled
fields.
