High winds may also create dangerous travel conditions, especially on high speed limit, high traffic routes such as Interstate 70. Reduced visibilities associated with blowing dust may exacerbate already difficult travel conditions and cause very poor air quality. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This system will not develop until early Wednesday morning and, when it does develop, it will do so very near or directly over the Tri-State area. As a result, a fair amount of uncertainty persists with regard to both the magnitude and location of the strongest winds. Hurricane force wind gusts (at least 75 mph) are possible. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if you must drive. && $$
