DALLAS – A ferocious dust storm turned skies an eerie dark orange Tuesday afternoon over the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.

Wind gusts as strong as 60 mph have been recorded in the area as a massive storm sweeps across the southern Plains and South with strong winds and severe weather. The video below, taken from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, shows the camera shaking in the 50-60 mph wind gust as dusty skies move over the airfield. 

One of the terminals at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport can barely be seen as a dust storm blows through the metroplex on March 4, 2025.

The airport reported a ground stop during the height of the storm and there would be some flight delays. The layer of dust passed about 45 minutes later and skies began to slowly return to more natural colors. 

A High Wind Warning has been issued through Tuesday night.
