Major shift in the weather happening now. From Cliff Mass:
Multiple Fires Ignited, Major Dust Storm Develops, Tens of Thousands Out of Power, and I-90/US 2 Closed By Winds in Eastern Washington
This is rapidly becoming a major event. Strong winds, gusting to 50-70 mph, has caused a dust storm that has closed major roads in eastern Washington (e.g., I-90 and US-2).
Much more at the site. Tens of thousands without power. This is going to get stronger.
Locally, the winds are 10-20mph and out of the north which is very unusual - generally it comes out of the south.
