Special Weather Statement issued March 13 at 2:44PM EDT by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)
Very strong wind gusts and dry soil is leading to areas of blowing dust across the area. This is causing visibility to be reduced to one mile or less in localized area.
Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing visibility. Slow down and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
As winds slowly decrease late this afternoon into the evening, blowing dust should diminish.

Last year, roughly 3.1 million yellow perch fry and 2.3 million yellow perch fingerlings were produced at the hatchery and stocked at dozens of lakes throughout Ohio. Fry are quarter-inch long hatchlings aged 1 to 5 days. Fish older than that are known as fingerlings. [More]
