Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles
like campers, vans, and tractor trailers. Gusty winds may blow
around unsecured objects. Damaging winds may topple a few trees
and possibly knock out some power lines. Damage to weaker
structures is also possible. Severe turbulence near the mountains
will be hazardous for low flying light aircraft. Aviation
interests may experience localized but extreme turbulence, or
strong downward airflows if flying in the near the Guadalupe
Mountains.
