In today's Weather Words, we're talking about 'fugitive dust':
is particulate matter thrown up and suspended in the air from dry soil disturbed by the wind or other activity. If you’ve ever seen a car driving fast over a dusty dirt road, you can probably remember the dust kicked up behind it, which looks like smoke. That is fugitive dust. It can cause dangerous visibility problems on roadways.
, make sure you find a safe place to pull completely off the roadway as soon as possible, and turn off all your vehicle lights, including flashers, while stopped.
