[Paul Cavnar]

As a 'heads-up' for the following report, we could be in for a similar 
situation to the fires in So. California with the winds coming up over
the next two days.  Be watchful and report any signs of fire you may
see.  Many of our resources are working in So. California so we are
already at a disadvantage if fire breaks out here.

AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING GUSTY WEST 
WINDS TO MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY.  WINDS WILL 
GENERALLY BE IN THE 20 TO 40 MPH RANGE WITH LOCAL 
GUSTS OVER 50 MPH POSSIBLE IN WIND PRONE AREAS
ALONG THE U.S. HIGHWAY 395 CORRIDOR. DRY SOILS WILL 
CREATE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR BLOWING DUST & 
SAND NEAR DRY LAKE BEDS. WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO 
THE NW & DECREASE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT.

A WIND ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO BE 31 TO 39 MPH OR GUSTS WILL RANGE 
BETWEEN 46 & 57 MPH. WINDS OF THESE MAGNITUDES 
MAY CAUSE MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE WITHOUT EXTRA 
PRECAUTIONS. MOTORISTS IN HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES 
SHOULD USE CAUTION UNTIL THE WINDS SUBSIDE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO & OTHER LOCAL 
MEDIA FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.
