Strong Winds Drag Dust Through Tuesday Weather
Strong winds reached nearly 50 miles per hour at 2 PM Tuesday, blowing dust and keeping up through the evening. A pleasant weekend turned unsettled as the wind surged. Temperature ranged from 10 to 40 degrees on Monday and 16 to 50 on Tuesday.
Weathering the Wind in Western Nebraska Winters
Open winter gains little snow and near normal temperatures but persistent high winds dominate January and February. Gusts exceed 50 mph, dust clouds blot skies from western Nebraska farms, harming wheat and cattle, slowing traffic, with worse conditions in Colorado and blizzard activity in Cheyenne. The Weather Bureau forecasts wetter weather through mid March to curb topsoil erosion.
