A wind advisory will be in effect from Friday Morning at 10AM PST through Saturday Morning at 3AM PST, with wind gusts as high as the lower 50s in the mountain passes, and generally gusty winds all through the watch area ahead of this weekends front. Winds could be hazardous to travel, cause potential disruption to power, or even blow dust, reducing visibility.
