The South Dakota Department of Transportation reported blowing dust with visibility near zero on US Highway 14 between Miller and Highmore on Sunday afternoon.
In addition to the blowing dust, the strong southern winds help increase temperatures well into the 80s and 90s and create dangerous fire weather conditions for much of the state. More dry, windy, and above normal temperatures are expected into the start of the work week.
