Dust Storm in Western El Paso County, Texas

Dust Storm June 7, 2024 · Western El Paso County, Texas

What the National Weather Service wrote

An off-duty employee reported a quarter mile visibility from blowing dust in west El Paso.

The wider storm

An upper low was located over the Baja region which brought mid and high level moisture into the Borderland. Isolated thunderstorms developed with dew point depressions over 60 degrees which produced strong thunderstorm outflow winds. Some of these outflows pushed dust into the El Paso area which reduced visibilities to below a quarter mile at times.
