...BLOWING DUST REPORTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF PORTAGE AND WAUSHARA

COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON...



East winds have increased to 15 to 30 mph with gusts around 45 mph

early this afternoon. The increasing winds combined with dry topsoil

moisture has resulted in blowing dust being reported on Highway 54

between Plower and Wisconsin Rapids, and on Interstate 39 between

Plover and Coloma. 



Strong east winds will continue with gusts to 50 mph possible for

the remainder of the afternoon, resulting in areas of blowing 

dust especially across southern Portage and western Waushara 

counties. If you are traveling along Highway 54 in Portage County

and Interstate 39 between Plover and Coloma, be on the lookout 

for lower visibilities due to blowing dust. The risk of blowing

dust and lower visibilities will come to an end late this

afternoon as rain moves into the area. 



If you encounter areas of blowing dust, slow down and allow extra

room between you and the car in front of you.
