Instructions:

A Blowing Dust Advisory means that blowing dust will lower visibilities to less than a mile, resulting in hazardous driving conditions. Motorists should not drive into an area of blowing dust. Remember, Pull Aside, Stay Alive. A High Wind Warning means that dangerously strong winds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or higher are expected or occurring. Winds this strong will bring a threat to life and possibly cause property damage. Watch for downed trees and power lines. Secure loose outdoor objects. Expect hazardous driving conditions, especially for high profile vehicles. Caution should also be used if boating on area lakes due to choppy waters. People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows.
