A Wind Advisory has been issued for the Central Mountains and Southern Mountains, with gusts up to 65 mph expected. Residents in these areas should secure loose outdoor objects and exercise extreme caution when driving.

The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) Salt Lake City UT, is effective from 6 AM Sunday, October 11, until 6 AM MDT Monday, October 12. South winds are expected to reach 30 to 40 mph, with gusts potentially hitting 60 to 65 mph.

These strong winds may blow around unsecured objects and could lead to power outages. Driving will be difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles and those with trailers. The NWS advises monitoring the latest forecasts for updates. Fasten loose objects or move them to a safe location before the winds begin. Use extra caution if driving in affected areas.
