Due to expected high winds, Clark County Air Quality officials issued a dust advisory for the Las Vegas Valley today through Wednesday morning.
At this time, dust levels have not reached the unhealthy category. However, as part of the county's dust control program, officials are sending notices to construction sites in the valley and other outlying areas in the county to take precautions to prevent blowing dust.
Air quality officials will continue to monitor the situation and will post an alert on the forecast page of the Department of Air Quality and Environmental Management's website if unhealthy levels of dust occur.
The National Weather Service is forecasting winds from 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to or exceeding 40 mph.
For those interested in tracking dust levels in the valley, the county's air quality forecast page can be located on Clark County's website.
