Discussion

We did see some dust get kicked up yesterday with the gusty winds. Our highest monitor, reaching well into the Moderate category, was the Higley monitor, in Gilbert. Going forward, we don't expect winds to be as strong as we've seen the past couple days. As a result, we don't expect any major dust issues. We are forecasting the dust risk level to remain Low through the forecast period.
