blowing dust"Dust picked up locally from the surface of the earth and blown about in clouds or sheets. It is classed as a lithometeor and is encoded BLDU as an obstruction to vision in an aviation weather observation (METAR).
BLOWING DUST: Reduction of visibility by strong winds blowing across dry ground with little or no vegetation. Visibilities of 1/8 mile or less over a widespread area are criteria for a Blowing Dust Advisory.
Blowing Dust- dust that is raised by the wind to moderate heights above the ground to a degree that horizontal visibility decreases to less than seven miles.
Blowing Snow- wind blown snow that reduces horizontal visibility.
BLOWING DUST OR SAND - Small particles of dust or sand which are caused by strong winds blowing over dry ground, that has little or no vegetation.
BLOWING SNOW - Wind-driven snow which reduces surface visibility.
BLOWING DUST Dust that is raised by the wind to heights of six feet or greater. It is reported as "BLDU" in an observation and on the METAR.
blowing dust—A type of lithometeor composed of dust particles picked up locally from the surface and blown about in clouds or sheets.
Blowing Dust (BLDU) Wind-driven dust that significantly reduces surface visibility to less than 7 miles.
Blowing Snow (BLSA) Wind-driven sand that significantly reduces surface visibility to less than 7 miles.
Blowing Dust or Sand
Strong winds over dry ground, that has little or no vegetation, can lift particles of dust or sand into the air.

(Blowing dust and rising temperatures also may follow, especially if the dry line passes during the daytime; see dry punch). The dry line's eastward movement at the surface is often not as fast as it is aloft.
After the thunderstorm gust front passes and before precipitation, if any, arrives, blowing dust often is kicked up by thunderstorm induced winds. The amount of dust depends on soil type, soil moisture content, and wind intensity.

(Blowing dust and rising temperatures also may follow, especially if the dry line passes during the daytime; see dry punch). These changes occur in reverse order when the dry line retreats westward.
A possible explanation is that fast-moving blowing dust particles generated static electricity, which ignited organic matter carried along with the dust.
