...HIGH WIND WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 
FRIDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Northwest winds 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 65 mph 
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and northeast Colorado, northwest 
  and west central Kansas, and southwest Nebraska.

* WHEN...From Friday morning through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...High winds may move loose debris, damage property and 
  cause power outages. Travel could be difficult, especially for 
  high profile vehicles. Plumes of blowing dust will create pockets 
  of low visibility. Visibilities will likely change rapidly over 
  short distances, making travel hazardous in these areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to 
the onset of winds.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is 
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying 
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust 
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung 
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related 
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with 
pre-existing respiratory conditions.
