episode_narrativeStrong thunderstorms developed across the southwestern Arizona deserts during the evening hours on July 9th and some of the stronger storms generated outflow winds in excess of 60 mph. The strong and gusty winds led to the creation of dust storm conditions which affected motorists along the Interstate 8 corridor across southern Yuma County. Some motorists reported visibility lowering to around 100 feet in dense blowing dust. The strong wind gust reports were all based on weather sensor readings, such as from AWOS weather stations. Fortunately no reports of damage were received due to the gusty winds, and no accidents occurred as a result of the dust storm conditions.
event_narrativeStrong thunderstorms developed across far southwest Arizona during the evening hours on July 9th; some of the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds measured in excess of 60 mph. The strong winds generated areas of dense blowing dust which resulted in a dust storm that affected motorists on the Interstate 8 corridor to the east of Yuma. According to two trained weather spotters, between about 1945MST and 2000MST a dust storm resulted in visibility dropping to nearly 100 feet in dense blowing dust. One spotter was located about 3 miles northeast of Tacna and the other was 2 miles southwest of Tacna. A Dust Storm Warning had been issued at 1925MST for the area and it remained in effect through 2100MST. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries were reported as a result of the hazardous dust storm conditions.
