...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 3 AM MDT FRIDAY...

The National Weather Service in Pocatello has issued a Wind
Advisory, which is in effect from noon today to 3 AM MDT Friday. 

* IMPACTS/TIMING...Wind will be strong enough to lift dust and
  reduce visibility, especially in the agricultural fields that
  are adjacent to Interstates 15 and 86, and U S Route 20. This
  will make driving hazardous, especially at the speed limit.
  Drivers need to slow down in a high wind situation and
  anticipate the sudden change of visibilty to near zero. The wind
  is expected to reach advisory threshold during the early
  afternoon in the western portion of the Snake River plain, then
  spread eastward during the mid-afternoon. The strong wind will
  also end from west to east across the Snake River plain,
  starting during the mid-evening and after midnight ending in the
  eastern side of the plain. 

* WINDS...Southwest wind of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to near 50 mph
  are likely for at least a couple of hours during the late
  afternoon and evening hours.

* LOCATIONS...The Snake River plain, from just west of American
  Falls to the Rexburg area, including Pocatello, Blackfoot, the
  Fort Hall Reservation, Idaho Falls, and Rexburg. Blowing dust is
  mainly experienced in areas north of Idaho Falls to the other
  side of the town of Roberts.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A wind advisory means that winds of 30 mph are expected. Gusts
over 45 mph are possible. Winds this strong can make driving
difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution.
