High Wind Warning issued February 16 at 10:35AM MST until February 17 at 5:00PM MST by NWS Goodland KS
* WHAT…West winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 65 mph expected.
* WHERE…Portions of east central and northeast Colorado and
northwest and west central Kansas.
* WHEN…From 10 AM MST /11 AM CST/ to 5 PM MST /6 PM CST/ Tuesday.
* IMPACTS…High winds may move loose debris, damage property and
cause power outages. Travel could be difficult, especially for
high profile vehicles. Plumes of blowing dust will create pockets
of low visibility. Visibilities will likely change rapidly over
short distances, making travel hazardous in these areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Strongest winds are forecast to be during the
late morning through the mid afternoon hours. Strong sustained
winds around 40 mph will persist through afternoon.
Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to
the onset of winds.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with
pre-existing respiratory conditions.
