Dust storms are raging across much of New Mexico. The National Weather Service pushed emergency alerts to cellphones that warned of zero-visibility road conditions and adverse health consequences for infants and the elderly.

Another round of intense dust storms has led to multiple crashes along New Mexico highways and interstates, officials said.

A dust storm has closed a 132-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in New Mexico and prompted warnings across the state Tuesday.

The dynamic storm from Friday through Sunday had earned an unusual “high risk” designation from weather forecasters.

A powerful storm system that tore across the United States in recent days is winding down Monday, but in its wake are devastated communities across states hit with violent tornadoes, wildfires and dust storms spun off by the massive system.

The weakening but still volatile weather system was moving Monday into the U.S. Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, bringing thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds and the potential for more tornadoes.
