will create hazardous conditions for small craft.

Secure or bring inside loose outdoor objects before the high winds
begin. During the high winds, avoid being outside in forested areas
or around trees, branches, and powerlines. Use caution if you must
drive, and keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel. Drivers of
high profile vehicles should consider delaying travel until the high
winds subside. Boaters on area lakes should use extra caution since
strong winds and rough waves can overturn small craft.
