39 mph Winds Are Beating The House Right Now

Strong east winds continue across the area. Speeds between Caldwell...Boise and Mountain Home are sustaining 20 to 30 mph with the occasional gust up to 40 mph. These winds are expected to persist through midnight then diminish. The strong winds are caused by a deep low pressure system off the Oregon coast pressing against high pressure over Utah and eastern Idaho. High profile vehicles need to be vigilant for Crosswinds. The situation is being watched for possible upgrade to Wind Advisory.
