* 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, Palo Verde
Valley, and Chiriaco Summit.

* WHEN...Until 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.
