...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM TO 3 PM MST FRIDAY...

* WHAT...East winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 to 45 mph
  expected.

* WHERE...A portion of south central Arizona including the Phoenix
  metro area.

* WHEN...From 8 AM to 3 PM MST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Difficult driving conditions, especially for larger
  vehicles traveling along roads with crosswinds. Light, unsecured
  objects may become airborne. Localized channels of blowing dust may
  briefly lower visibility under one mile and lots of lofted dust may
  create poor air quality across the area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of between 30 and 40
mph are expected, or wind gusts of between 40 and 58 mph. Winds this
strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile
vehicles.

In addition, strong winds over desert areas could result in briefly
lowered visibilities to well under a mile at times in blowing dust or
blowing sand. Use extra caution.
