| episode_narrative | An abnormally strong and dry weather system dug into southern California during mid March and produced a strong westerly gradient wind. In the afternoon of the 15th wind gusts were observed up to 40-50 mph at multiple weather stations across Imperial county. With the county being dust prone, the strong winds were able to produce areas of dense blowing dust. There were a few reports around the Salton Sea of near zero visibility within blowing dust. There was also a traffic accident in the Salton City area within an area of dense blowing dust that injured one and claimed the life of an assisting CBP officer. A wind advisory and blowing dust advisory were in effect through the afternoon and a Dust Storm Warning was also issued following a dense blowing dust report. |
| event_narrative | California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported a dust storm had resulted in near zero visibility along State Highway 86 north of the intersection with State Route 78. This prompted CHP to close State Highway 86 for an unknown amount of time. Event end time based on area webcams and spotter reports. |
