episode_narrativeA strong area of low pressure and an associated cold front moving through Arizona on November 7th combined to produce strong and gusty winds across the central deserts. Gradient wind gusts were observed up to 35-40 mph. As a result of the gusty wind, areas of dense blowing dust/dust channels developed during the afternoon hours over desert areas to the southeast of Phoenix. The dense blowing dust lowered visibility to one quarter mile or less between Florence and Casa Grande and resulted in the issuance of a Dust Storm Warning. The strong winds and reduction in visibility impacted travel between Phoenix and Tucson, but there were no reports of accidents or injuries.
