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.
Residents throughout Mercer County are on the watch for suspicious people and activity in the aftermath of an unsolved double homicide near Fort Recovery and recent burglaries and break-ins throughout the area.
"People are on edge," St. Henry Police Chief Bob Garman said. [More]
