UPDATE: A dust advisory has been issued by Clark County's Department of Air Quality for Monday. Elevated levels of dust are expected with the windy conditions in Las Vegas.

Under windy conditions people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children may feel better staying indoors as much as possible because they could be at greater risk from particulates, especially when they are physically active, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Consult your physician if you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to air pollution.
