What You Should Do
Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality. Take preventative measures such as staying indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related problems, especially with children, elderly or those with pre-existing respiratory conditions. If you encounter blowing dust or blowing sand on the roadway or see it approaching, pull off the road as far as possible and put your vehicle in park. Turn the lights all the way off and keep foot off the brake pedal. Remember, 'Pull Aside, Stay Alive'.
Expected Conditions
Widespread blowing dust and brown out conditions. Severely limited visibilities expected. Travel will be dangerous and possibly life-threatening. Poor air quality may cause issues for people with respiratory problems. Law enforcement has reported an area of blowing dust moving in from the Colorado border. Be prepared for wind gusts to 50 mph and rapidly changing visibilities.
