* Timing: Winds will peak this evening through the late night 
  hours before decreasing behind the front. 

* Winds: South to southwest 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 60 mph
  possible. Wind-prone areas including canyons along Highway 395

  profile vehicles, may result in loss of vehicle control.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Now is the time to secure loose outdoor items such as patio
furniture and trash cans before winds increase. The best thing to
do is prepare ahead of time by making sure you have extra food
and water on hand, flashlights with spare batteries and/or
candles in the event of a power outage.

Be prepared to take alternate routes if roads are closed due to
high winds, particularly if you plan on traveling in a high-
profile vehicle.
