...NUMEROUS DUST DEVILS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE DELTA THIS AFTERNOON...

DUE TO THE VERY DRY AND WARM WEATHER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED COMBINING
WITH NUMEROUS FARMERS PLOWING THERE FIELDS DUST DEVILS HAVE BEEN
PROMINENT ACROSS THE DELTA TODAY. THE PLOWING OF FIELDS AND LACK OF
RAIN HAVE MADE FOR VERY DRY AND LOOSE SOIL. AS PARCELS GET WARMER THAN
THE SURROUNDING AIR IT BEGINS TO RISE. AS THESE AIR PARCELS RISE THEY
BEGINTO ROTATE THUS PICKING UP SOME OF THIS LOOSE SOIL...AND BAM YOU
HAVE A DUST DEVIL. THIS COULD BE THE CASE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS
WE EXPECTING TO GET EVEN WARMER WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED UNTIL LATE THIS
WEEKEND OR EVEN NEXT WEEK. 

THERE ARE NO SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THESE AS THE WINDS ARE LIKELY
LESS THAN 25 MPH. THE ONLY PROBLEM COULD BE TO MOTORISTS WHERE THEY
MIGHT CROSS ROADS AND VERY BRIEFLY LOWER VISIBILITIES.
