Description:
* WHAT...For the Wind Advisory, southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with

heights on Pyramid Lake of 1 to 3 feet.
* WHERE...Western Nevada Basin and Range including Pyramid Lake.
* WHEN...From 11 AM this morning to 11 PM PDT this evening.
* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Blowing
dust downwind of desert sinks may reduce visibilities. 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.
Instruction:
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. 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.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
Secure outdoor objects.
