The wider storm
An upper-level trough dragged a cold front across the area, resulting in widespread westerly winds of 40-55 mph across southeast California. The strong winds also resulted in areas of blowing dust, reducing visibilities to less than a quarter of a mile at times. The strong winds and blowing dust resulted in several road closures, creating a significant disruption to transportation.
