...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 8 PM CST THIS
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Lincoln has issued a Wind
Advisory, which is in effect from noon today to 8 PM CST this
evening. 

* TIMING...While winds increase by midday, the strongest wind 
  gusts will be between 1 pm and 5 pm. However, some strong gusts 
  will linger into early evening in areas north of a Macomb to 
  Bloomington line. 

* WINDS...South winds will gust from 40 to 45 mph this afternoon,
  before diminishing and turning to the west early this evening. 

* IMPACTS...High profile vehicles will experience difficult
  travel, especially on west to east oriented roads. Some dust may
  be kicked up near farm fields that have recently been harvested
  or plowed, reducing visibility. Outdoor burning can quickly get
  out of control. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Advisory means that winds gusts around 45 mph are 
expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially
for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
