Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:17 PM MDT on May 17, 2008


... Thunderstorms with blowing dust moving into the area...


A line of thunderstorms extending from southeast Sierra County
to northwest Hudspeth County is moving southwestward around 30
mph. These thunderstorms are producing very strong gusty winds of
40 to 50 mph and causing considerable blowing dust with
visibilities locally less than 1 mile. These storms are also producing
light to moderate rainfall amounts in a short period of time. Motorists
are urged to use extreme caution when encountering these storms
due to the sudden high gusty impulse winds and very low
visibilities.
