Millions of people in the High Plains will experience widespread wind gusts between 60 and 80 mph, from Montana to Kansas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This wind, which will last all day and into the evening, could take down large trees, cause power outages, reduce visibility with blowing dust, and make travel dangerous for high-profile vehicles, which could be turned over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
