The NWS says gusty winds can blow unsecured objects. Tree limbs can be blown down and power outages can result. Windy conditions can create reduced visibility in the deserts from blowing dust.

The NWS recommends using caution when driving, especially those in high-profile vehicles, and to secure outdoor objects.
