IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Small boats, kayaks and paddle boards will be prone to capsizing and should remain off lake waters until conditions improve. Gusty winds may loft blowing dust from dry lake beds and desert sinks, reducing visibility. ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Choppy lake waters are expected for Pyramid Lake. Use caution when traveling along north to south oriented roadways, as travel may be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Now is the time to secure loose outdoor items such as patio furniture, holiday decorations, and trash cans before winds increase which could blow these items away.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
