DENVER (KDVR) — A cold front moving across the Front Range turned up dust and odors on Saturday evening.
A FOX31 viewer sent in a video (above) from a drive through a dust storm near Deer Trail, in eastern Arapahoe County. The viewer captured the video around 6 p.m.
Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Dave Fraser said the dust and low visibility is not surprising, given how dry the Eastern Plains have been.
Other viewers reported a strong scent of “manure” as the front moved through. Fraser said the smell is very typical with a northeast wind shift, as the farm odors from Weld County whirl through the metro.
