Thunderstorms this afternoon will bring the potential for blowing dust. As for the next few days, thunderstorms moving into the area and causing dust issues is looking less likely. Chances are looking more likely as we head into next week. We currently have a Moderate risk but may increase the risk if strong outflow winds are looking more likely as we get closer.
