I use a couple but they do NOT give the predicted wind "gusts". And that makes a big difference.

Actually, I get a notice from the Tucson U.S. Weather service guys on their Facebook page. You can like them on FB. Search under U.S. National Weather Service Tucson Arizona.

Well, at least no body died today, but I-10 was shut down from Wilcox AZ to Lordsburg NM due to blowing dust and accidents.

Coming out of Banning Pass here east of Palm Springs, CA. All the way to Blythe. Sustained 30+. Gusts at 45+.

Same here in NM.

Another vote for sitting the day out and not driving.

Also for most of the state -and especially I 40 across the northern end of AZ. If at all possible find a good cg and wait out this day!!
