A severe dust advisory is out for Maricopa County and Pinal County today. Dust rolled in rapidly. Heavy winds pushed leftover storm air from the southeast into the Phoenix area. Visibility dropped across the Valley. That creates hazardous travel conditions for motorists on local roads and highways.
Monsoon storms pushed through. Weather workers said this happens as heat in Arizona continues above normal levels. The National Weather Service tracked powerful wind gusts all over the area earlier. Drivers are urged to reduce speed. Watch for sudden plunges in how far you can see.
