Strong wind advisory continues into this evening

IDAHO FALLS — A strong wind advisory is in effect until about 9 p.m. Sunday in most of eastern Idaho.

The National Weather Service reports the Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Pocatello regions will see strong gusty southwest winds of between 25 to 35 mph. Gusts of up to 45 mph may occur.

NWS officials say there may be areas of reduced visibility due to blowing dust, especially in areas that have been recently cultivated.

The areas most strongly impacted will be Interstate 86 near Pocatello and Interstate 15 from Pocatello north to Hamer. The strongest cross winds are expected across the Arco Desert and INL area, according to NWS.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. If traveling, use caution and keep a firm grip on the wheel. Slow down and use extra caution if you encounter reduced visibility due to blowing dust.
