including Mount Lemmon/Summerhaven-

...BLOWING DUST ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 10 PM
MST THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Strong and gusty thunderstorm outflows are expected to

* IMPACTS...Blowing dust can restrict visibilities below a mile
posing a significant hazard to motorists. In addition, strong and

animals breathe. Individuals with heart disease and respiratory
sensitivities may want to reduce their level of exertion to limit
the dust they breathe into their lungs, especially if they are
near dust prone locations. Those most at risk may feel better if
they avoid outside exercise today, keeping windows and doors
closed to help reduce exposure.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Persons with respiratory problems should make preparations to stay
indoors until the storm passes. Be ready for a sudden drop in
visibility to near zero. If you encounter blowing dust or blowing
sand on the roadway or see it approaching, pull off the road as far
as possible and put your vehicle in park. Turn the lights all the
way off and keep foot off the brake pedal. Remember, 'Pull
