...HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM CDT /3 AM MDT/ TUESDAY...

* WHAT...South winds at 30 to 45 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

* WHERE...In Kansas, Cheyenne, Rawlins, Sherman, and Thomas
  Counties. In Nebraska, Dundy and Hitchcock Counties.

* WHEN...Until 4 AM CDT /3 AM MDT/ Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Wind of this magnitude will create dangerous travel
  conditions, especially on east west routes such as Interstate 70,
  where cross winds will be strongest. Reductions in visibility
  associated with blowing dust, where present, will exacerbate
  already difficult travel conditions. Wind of this magnitude may
  also down trees, power lines, and damage property.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you are driving, watch for objects blowing across the roadway and
into your path. Keep a safe distance from cars in adjacent lanes as
strong gusts could suddenly push a vehicle outside its lane of
travel. Take extra care in high-profile vehicles such as a truck,
van, or SUV, or when towing a trailer, as these are more prone to
be pushed or even flipped by high winds.
