Dust blows in from the west across southeast Texas

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Friday's high winds that whipped across southeast Texas have subsided, but not before bringing dust from the high plains of Colorado.

While air quality readings across the area were still generally in the moderate (healthy) range, you may have seen a haze in the sky this morning. Video from Conroe, Houston and Galveston showed reduced visibilities across the area.

Wondering what that white stuff is on your car? Yesterday's gusty winds blew in a dust cloud all the way from the High Plains of eastern Colorado!

Most of the dust was gone by Saturday evening. Now Houston will see clear skies and dry conditions through the weekend, before a rain event is expected to arrive next week.

It's a bit hazy outside this morning and that's due to dust in the air carried down from north Texas brought down by yesterday's windy conditions.
