...HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM MDT THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Pocatello has issued a High Wind
Warning, which is in effect until 10 PM MDT this evening. The
Wind Advisory is no longer in effect. 

* IMPACTS/TIMING...Strong winds are likely through 9 pm tonight 
  and will gradually diminish after 9 pm. Winds may be strong 
  enough to bring down branches and weakened trees, taking with 
  them powerlines or doing damage to structures. Driving high- 
  profile vehicles will be difficult. Blowing dust near 
  agricultural fields can reduce visibilities suddenly to zero 
  with no warning, making driving at normal highway speeds 
  dangerous. 

* WINDS...West winds of 40 to 55 mph are likely with a peak gust
  up to 60 mph possible. 

* LOCATIONS...Eastern Magic Valley including Burley, Shoshone,
  Heyburn, Malta and Interstate 84.
  

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A high wind warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected
or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts
of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.
