Discussion

The dust risk will remain low through the middle of next week. The largest uncertainty with increased dust will be with today's thunderstorm chances. However, rain has already fallen this morning, and this will begin to limit increases in dust the next few days.

Saturday is expected to be mostly dry during the day with isolated cells possible in the afternoon. Steady rain arrives Saturday evening, and this will continue to saturate soils and keep the dust risk low. Drier conditions return Monday and are expected to continue through at least the middle of next week, and more typical increases in dust from local activity will return.
