Wind prompts dust advisory in Clark County

Posted: Updated:
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Forecasted wind gusts of more than 40 miles per hour have prompted Clark County air quality officials to issue a dust advisory Monday.

The Clark County Department of Air Quality issued the advisory from the morning hours to Monday evening.

FOX5 meteorologist Les Krifaton reported wind gusts of 40-50 miles per hour beginning in the late morning.

The wind should affect drivers especially on the Interstate 15 corridor to southern California, Krifaton said.

In addition, Monday will see a low level of humidity, which will give way to heightened wildfire dangers.
