The dust storm could also be seen from space. Satellite views from GOES-East show the storm moving out of Nebraska and into Kansas on early Friday afternoon.  

For those traveling in the High Plains, weather conditions showed that visibility was less than one-quarter mile due to blowing dust on roadways.

A High Wind Warning remained in effect through Friday afternoon as wind gusts were expected to reach 60 mph.
