Winds bring dust, cooler temperatures

As winds continue blowing between 20 mph and 30 mph with gusts into the 40 mph range, a dust advisory has been issued for today and tonight by the Clark County Department of Air Quality and Environmental Management.

Although unhealthy levels of dust are not occurring in the valley at this time, the county asked construction sites in the valley and other outlying areas to take precautions to prevent blowing dust.

The National Weather Service forecasts unsettled weather throughout the end of this week and the weekend. Temperatures will range from 70s into the 80s, a drop of 20 to 30 degrees from Monday's high of 108 degrees.

Starting Thursday there is a chance of thunderstorms for Southern Nevada, especially at Lake Mead and in the Spring Mountains. Above 7,000 feet in the mountains, snow flurries could occur, forecasters say.

Warmer and calmer weather should return Monday.
