Discussion
Thunderstorm activity is expected to continue affecting Maricopa County to varying degrees through Sunday. At this time, potential for a dust related exceedance is expected to be better on Wednesday and Thursday (Moderate risk). A decrease in dust risk is anticipated Friday due to more stable soils anticipated from the previous night's rainfall and storms that day less likely to produce strong winds. A downtrend in storm coverage is anticipated over the weekend and thus the risk of an exceedance is Low - but strong outflow winds cannot be ruled out.
