Description:

over 100 mph.
* WHERE...In California, Mono County. In Nevada, Greater Reno-Carson

* WHEN...From 7 AM this morning to 7 PM PST this evening.
* IMPACTS...Travel will be difficult, especially through wind prone
areas such as Interstate 580 in Washoe Valley, Highway 395 in Mono
County, and Highway 95 near Walker Lake. Gusty winds will blow
around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few
power outages may result. Winds may knock down burned trees in the
Davis Fire burn area.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...While wind will be the main weather hazard in
Mono County Friday, 2 to 4 inches of snow is likely Friday
afternoon and evening for communities west of Highway 395 such as
Mammoth Lakes. Passes along Highway 395 such as Conway, Devils
Gate, and Deadman will likely see snow accumulations as well. Both
the wind and snow will make for tricky travel in the Eastern
Sierra.
Instruction:
Secure loose outdoor items such as patio furniture, holiday
decorations, and trash cans before winds increase which could blow
these items away. The best thing to do is prepare ahead of time by
making sure you have extra food and water on hand, flashlights with
spare batteries and/or candles in the event of a power outage.
