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 Wind Advisory means that winds of 30 to 39 mph with higher gusts are occurring or expected. Winds this strong can knock down tree limbs and make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Secure loose outdoor objects. Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.
