...Increasing winds this evening may create reduced visibility
from blowing dust on the interstate and area roadways...

Increasing winds shifting out of the west at 25 to 35 mph are
forecast between 5 pm this evening and 7 pm. Wind gusts of 40 to
50 mph are possible. As a result, blowing dust may develop and
reduce visibility for drivers through the Magic Valley, Lower
Snake River Plain and Southern Highlands. These conditions are
expected to persist until approximately 9 or 10 pm this evening
before improving.

If you encounter a dust storm, do not drive it. Pull your vehicle
off the roadway as far as possible. If you cannot pull off, go at
a speed suitable for reduced visibility and turn on your
headlights. Use the painted center line to guide you.
