At 2:34 p.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the Klamath Basin, Northern and Eastern Klamath County, Western Lake County, and Central and Eastern Lake County. The advisory was in effect from Friday at 10 p.m. to Saturday at 10 p.m.
“Northeast winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected,” the weather service said. “Winds will first become gusty at exposed locations in the higher terrain on Friday night, then will be strongest across the area during Saturday afternoon and evening.”
“Those who have respiratory disorders may experience complications as a result of poor air quality. With extended exposure, wind chill levels and extremely low temperatures can cause hypothermia. Unsecured objects will be blown around by gusty gusts. According to the weather service, there may be a few power outages and tree branches that are blown down. “As much as possible, keep pets inside. Be careful when you’re outside. Put on gloves, a hat, and clothes that are acceptable. Driving in such severe winds can be challenging, particularly for cars with a prominent profile. Be especially careful. When it comes to handling high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctors’ instructions.
