SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Drivers woke to muddy cars. They've been asking the KY3 Storm Team why.
The dirty rain fell across a large part of the Missouri Ozarks on Sunday night and early Monday. A dust storm moved over west Texas late Sunday afternoon and then travelled across the entire Southern Plains and into driveways in the Ozarks.
Rain drops fell through this dust cloud and collected the particles. When the raindrops hit vehicles, the water ran off but quite a lot of the dirt stuck to the cars as water evaporated and deposited its dirty load.
The storm system that brought large hail, big wind and tornado warnings to the region sucked this air into the larger storm circulation.
The image shows the dust cloud over Texas at 4:45 p.m. Sunday.
