A Wind Advisory remains in effect from 6 PM PST /7 PM MST/ this
evening to 4 PM PST /5 PM MST/ Sunday for the Lake Mead National
Recreation Area and Colorado River valley.
A strong cold front will push through the Colorado River valley
early this evening. North winds will increase down the River
Valley behind the front tonight and persist through the day on
Sunday. Wind speeds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph can be
expected during the advisory period... especially in narrow north-
south channels.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Strong winds in excess of 30 mph will create dangerous boating
conditions on area lakes during the advisory period. These winds
will create very choppy waters and generate large waves which
could capsize or swamp small craft. For your personal safety...
operators of small craft are urged to postpone their outings
until the winds subside. If you do venture out onto the lakes...
avoid the open water and stay close to shore or in protected
coves and inlets.
