Photos Of Saturday's Blowing Dust & Peak Wind Gusts.

Saturday started out with dense fog blanketing Carlsbad, NM. The dryline had backed westward into the Pecos Valley. It quickly mixed eastward as the strong winds aloft begin mixing downward towards the surface.

By Saturday afternoon widespread blowing dust begin overtaking southeastern New Mexico. Yesterday's weather so reminded me of when I was a kid growing up in Arteisa in the 1960's and 1970's. I remember enduring several days in a row of high winds, and blowing dust like yesterday's event. If this drought we are currently enduring does not break this summer, then expect to see more days ahead like this. Can you spot the windmill in pictures #3 and #4?

Severe thunderstorms erupted last night as West Texas as a fast moving Pacific Cold Front overran the dryline. Click on the Midland NWS Blog for the details.
