...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 2000, high winds developed over eastern Colorado and continued
for 48 hours. The winds began with a very strong frontal passage. Initial
gusts of 75 mph were reported with the front. The high winds continued
through the next day causing blowing dust across Yuma, Kit Carson, and
Cheyenne Counties. Visibilities were near zero in places and made travel
difficult until the winds and blowing dust subsided later in the afternoon.
