Tuesday, March 22, 2016 @ 3:29 PM MDT. Wednesday, March 23, 2016 @ 3:17 PM MDT. Thursday, March 24, 2016 @ 3:41 PM MDT. High winds and blowing dust made for a couple of miserable days in southeastern New Mexico and West Texas this past Tuesday and Wednesday. Actually dust storms like these are fairly common and normal this time of the year and there is really nothing unusual about them. We've seen far worse dust storms in the years past with higher wind gusts.   I stopped at the New Mexico and Texas State line along US Hwy 62/180 and took the above photos. I was looking west at the Guadalupes 15 miles to my west.  Peak wind gusts of 72 mph and 74 mph were recorded at the Bowl Raws (located north of Guadalupe Peak) and at Guadalupe Pass Wednesday. The blowing dust dropped our visibility down to around 3-7 miles Wednesday afternoon.   Carlsbad recorded a peak gust of 62 mph out of the west at 2:35 PM MDT Wednesday afternoon. ...

My low here at our home in northwest Carlsbad was 37°F . Tonight's are forecast to be about five degrees or so lower than this mornings therefore its likely that most of us will see a freeze in the morning.  Average Last Freeze Dates: Farmington: May 18th Santa Fe: May 8th Albuquerque: April 14th Clovis: April 17th Roswell: April 12th Artesia: April 14th Carlsbad: April 3rd Hobbs: April 5th Alamogordo: April 3rd Ruidoso: June 3rd Cloudcroft: May 24th Elk: May 5th El Paso: March 18th Given the recent late winter and early spring warmth many of us have been fooled into thinking that we've already experienced our last freeze of the season.

Locally the highest reported wind gust Saturday afternoon was 78 mp recorded at the San Augustin Pass automated weather station located just east of Las Cruces, along US Hwy 70 in the Organ Mountains. Not far behind was the 69 mph gust clocked at the Bowl Raws located 1/2 of a mile north of Guadalupe Peak, and 66 mph recorded at Guadalupe Pass. Given that it is March yesterday wasn't so bad as far as the winds go...compared with some of our stronger blow downs in the past. Late yesterday afternoon and evening the skies became somewhat obscured with blowing dust. The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction!

All things considered this has been a rather tame start to our meteorological spring so far in New Mexico. March came in not like a lamb but like one that is asleep. Not that I or anyone that I know is complaining. How many of you "locals" remember the past March blowdowns when the wind seemingly never stopped from late February through June? I do and trust me I don't miss them. Saturday Will Be Breezy To Windy! NAM Surface Forecast. Valid @ 2 PM MST Saturday. NAM 850 MB (5,000' Mean Sea Level/MSL) Forecast. Valid @ 2 PM MST Saturday.

Mother Nature just did not want to play nice with New Mexico concerning this storm that has gone to Mexico on vacation. Its simply remarkable how far south that this cutoff upper level low has sunk. Its not often that you see the Polar Jet dig this far south into Mexico! What a missed opportunity for us...sure would have been nice to see the state's mountains get clobbered with some of that heavy snow its laying down over the mountains of Mexico. Ski Apache seems to be the big winner locally concerning new snowfall. They picked up a whopping 1.5" . Oh well next time.
