Dirty Cars

I noticed after the heavy rains on Sunday/Monday, my car was dirtier than it was before it rained. It went from having dust on the sides to thick dust in spots all over. I saw other cars with the same issue.

Today I stumbled across a weather blog that said a dust storm in the plains hooked up with the front that came through Sunday into Monday, causing the dust to be absorbed by the rain, thus causing it to be deposited during the storm.

Thought it was interesting. Here is a video of the storm and fires in Texas that caused it.

Thanks for the info, Brian. Yesterday my exact thought was "My car hasn't looked like this since I lived in west Texas." So you've cleared that matter up. West Texas came and found me.

Yep, I saw that on the news. The storm carried the dust from Texas up to Ky and came down with the 'dirty rain'. A lot of people were complaining about their dirty cars.
