More storms are forecast for Wednesday evening, following a massive dust storm that swept across the Phoenix area Tuesday night, leaving a path of dust, debris and damage in nearly every part of the Valley.
Wednesday evening’s forecast includes a 20 percent chance for thunderstorms in the Valley and between a 20 percent and 25 percent chance for dust storms beginning between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

(Westboundkid)  Wow...now look at these photos of the storm!  The Valley is a dust bowl today.  Should I wash my car, or ignore it?  Looks like it might make sense to wait a day or so and see what else turns up.
