A Wind Advisory is in effect for the Hanford area. West winds of 30 mph are forecast, with gusts of 45-55 mph are likely for the lower Columbia Basin of Washington.
Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Blowing dust may also be observed, which may significantly lower the visibility in some areas.
Stay Safe While Driving in High Winds, Observe the following:
• Slow down and keep both hands on the wheel.
• Watch for objects blowing across the roadway and into your path.
• Keep a safe distance from cars in adjacent lanes as strong gusts could push a car outside its lane of travel.
• Take extra care in a high-profile vehicle such as a truck, van, SUV, or when towing a trailer, as these are more prone to be pushed or even flipped by high wind gusts.
• If winds are severe enough to prevent safe driving, get onto the shoulder of the road and stop, making sure you are away from trees or other tall objects that could fall onto your vehicle. Stay in the car and turn on the hazard lights until the wind subsides.
