Arkansas Weather Blog: Northeast Arkansas Dust Storm

2 PM Sunday Update... I just received this video from my facebook fan page and I wanted to share it with you. It's obvious northeast Arkansas was the hot spot for some wild and wacky weather Saturday from dust storms to heavy rain, to high winds. The video below shows how strong and wicked thunderstorms can be. The rain blows horizontally! We never encourage you to do be out in the elements like this. The video is from Diane Alexander Layrock.

Also, check out the incredible video and pictures below of the dust storm from Sat. afternoon.

It's really amazing to see an incredible and widespread dust storm after record flooding just a month ago.

Wind from strong to severe thunderstorms kicked up dust from farm fields all over the northeast sections of the state and dropped visibilities down to less than a mile in some locations.

Check out these pictures of dust AND a dust devil in Des Ark from KATV viewers. You can always send yours to photo@katv.com

New Video from Lorie Burress along Highway 18 during the dust storm Saturday. She said it was so bad, they had to pull off the road for awhile. As you will see in the video, visibilities were very low.

Amazing dust storm video below is from Andrew Sloan in College City, Arkansas.
