Iris Pass, California
Mountain pass in Riverside County, California, at 2,339 ft* WHAT...North winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 to 45 mph expected. * WHERE...In Arizona, Parker Valley. In California, Chuckwalla Mountains, Chuckwalla Valley, Imperial County Southeast, and Palo Verde Valley. * WHEN...From 8 PM MST /8 PM PDT/ this evening to 2 PM MST /2 PM PDT/ Friday. * IMPACTS...Difficult driving conditions, especially for larger vehicles traveling along roads with crosswinds. Light, unsecured objects may become airborne. Localized channels of blowing dust may briefly lower visibility under one mile and lots of lofted dust may create poor air quality across the area.
A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of between 30 and 40 mph are expected, or wind gusts of between 40 and 58 mph. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. In addition, strong winds over desert areas could result in briefly lowered visibilities to well under a mile at times in blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra caution.
