episode_narrativeIn the late afternoon and early evening hours of the 19th, gusty wind raised dust on the Southern San Joaquin Valley floor to the extent that visibilities were reduced to 200 feet on South Valley roads with many area visibilities at or below 1/2 mile. Meadows Field at Bakersfield reported wind to 31 MPH with vertical visibility limited to just 900 feet due to the blowing dust. While the wind was from the northwest in the vicinity of Bakersfield, other locations in the Central Valley reported wind from the southeast. The blowing dust was limited primarily to the Kern County portion of the San Joaquin Valley floor.
