Thunderstorms developed across portions of La Paz County during the evening hours on July 28th; some of the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds in excess of 40 mph. The strong winds picked up substantial amounts of dust and sand and stirred them about leading to dust storms conditions over the eastern portion of the county. For example, at 2110MST a trained spotter in Wenden reported visibility reduced to zero miles in a dust storm along Highway 60. Trained spotters near the Maricopa County line in Centennial also reported evening dust storms along Interstate 10 when visibility was reduced to 50 feet in dense blowing dust. No accidents or injuries were reported as a result of the dust storms and the severely reduced visibility.
