A significant dust storm, known as a haboob, has traversed from New Mexico into Arizona, causing hazy skies across the region on June 20. The storm, which originated in New Mexico, passed through parts of Mexico and New Mexico before reaching Arizona. Satellite imagery shows lofted dust over parts of Arizona, with the Phoenix metro area experiencing hazy conditions. The National Weather Service in Flagstaff reported dusty skies, and aerial footage has tracked blowing dust in the East Valley. The haziness extended from the Four Corners to southern Arizona.

Dusty skies were being observed at NWS Flagstaff (1st image). The 2nd image shows a grayish-white area over S NM/N Mexico Wed evening. This is a haboob. The 3rd image from Thu morning shows haziness extending from the Four Corners to S AZ, the remnants of the haboob. #azwx https://t.co/xbYxqVKrY2
Taking a look at current satellite imagery, lofted dust is being observed over parts of Arizona. This is the remnants of a dust storm that traversed parts of Mexico and New Mexico last night, resulting in hazy skies over the Phoenix metro this morning. #azwx https://t.co/IDRVAElQpF
Here is a look at the massive dust storm pushing across New Mexico into Arizona. That fire you see burning on the border is the Foote Fire, outside Alpine, Arizona. Very interesting. #wildfire #azfire #azwx https://t.co/gz4j56PLbz
