Check 511 for possible road closure from low visibilities from
Blowing Dust. Secure or bring inside loose outdoor objects before

caution if you must drive, and keep both hands firmly on the
steering wheel. Drivers of high profile vehicles should consider
delaying travel until the high winds subside.
