To the south, strong winds at the surface were lofting plumes of blowing dust from Carson Sink in western Nevada and from the Martin Fire burn scar in northern Nevada — GOES-17 Dust Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images (below) displayed these dust plumes as brighter shades of pink. The Carson Sink plume eventually moved across Interstate 80 in north-central Nevada, while the fire burn scar plume eventually moved over Interstate 84 in southern Idaho.
