Potential dust wave strength and impact areas

 

It is expected that the active, windy dust winds will start with the late morning hours throughout the northern border region, and gradually move towards Hafar Al-Batin, Kuwait and then the eastern parts of the Kingdom, including Hafar Al-Batin Dammam, Jubail and Al-Khobar and up to the desert of the Empty Quarter.
