High Wind Warning issued May 17 at 2:22PM MDT until May 17 at 8:00PM MDT by NWS Pocatello ID * WHAT...West winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to around 60 mph. * WHERE...Arco/Mud Lake Desert, Lower Snake River Plain, and Upper Snake River Plain. * WHEN...Until 8 PM MDT this evening. * IMPACTS...Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Isolated damage to trees, powerlines, signs, and outbuildings is expected, along with isolated power outages. Loose outdoor objects will be blown around. Areas of blowing dust may reduce visibilities. Strong winds and rough waves on area lakes will create hazardous conditions for small craft. Secure or bring inside loose outdoor objects before the high winds begin. During the high winds, avoid being outside in forested areas or around trees, branches, and powerlines. Use caution if you must drive, and keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel. Drivers of high profile vehicles should consider delaying travel until the high winds subside. Boaters on area lakes should use extra caution since strong winds and rough waves can overturn small craft.
