The advisory covers several areas, including portions of the Cheyenne River Reservation, Harding, Butte, and Meade Counties. The NWS warns that sudden wind gusts can lead to drivers losing control of their vehicles, especially those that are lightweight or high-profile, while blowing dust, reduced visibility, and flying debris are also expected.
In Pitkin County, Colorado, a Flood Advisory has been issued due to a mudslide caused by excessive rainfall, leading to the closure of CO Route 133 at Mile Marker 53. The advisory is in effect until 9:15 AM MDT, with additional debris from the mudslide and flooding expected. The NWS advises against traveling through the affected area to avoid potential hazards.

The NWS urges individuals to be cautious and avoid risky activities near the coast during these conditions.
These weather advisories underscore the importance of staying informed and prepared during severe weather events. It is crucial for residents in the affected areas to heed the warnings provided by the NWS, secure outdoor objects, and avoid unnecessary travel to minimize risks and ensure their well-being.
As climate change continues to influence weather patterns globally, it is essential for individuals and communities to prioritize resilience and adaptability in the face of extreme weather events.
