===Land=== {{Redirect-distinguish|High wind warning|Extreme wind warning|high wind watch}} The [[National Weather Service]] issues a similar '''high wind warning''' ([[Specific Area Message Encoding]] code: HWW) for high winds on land. The criteria vary from place to place; however, in most cases, the warning applies to winds of {{Convert|40|mph}} to {{Convert|73|mph}} for at least 1 hour; ''or'' any gusts of {{Convert|58|mph}} to {{Convert|114|mph}} on land. It is more severe than a ''wind advisory'', but not as severe as an ''[[extreme wind warning]]'', which is generally issued if major hurricane winds are expected from a [[tropical cyclone]]. The high wind warning is not issued if a [[tropical storm warning]], [[blizzard warning]], [[winter storm warning]], [[severe thunderstorm warning]], [[dust storm warning]], or [[tornado warning]] covers the phenomenon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://w1.weather.gov/glossary/index.php?word=High+Wind+Warning|title=Glossary - NOAA's National Weather Service|first=NOAA's National Weather|last=Service|website=w1.weather.gov}}</ref> This should not be confused with the extreme wind warning tag, which denotes wind speeds of 115 mph or greater, and is most often seen in powerful hurricanes.
