Several wildfires broke out over the state on Thursday and continued into Friday. Take a look at the smoke plume from the rangeland fire near Crossroads Thursday afternoon. Smoke can be seen streaming well to the northeast into the southern Texas Panhandle. 

Blowing dust developed in Thursday afternoons high winds and continued into late Friday afternoon over much of the local area. Visibilities were particularly bad Friday afternoon in West Texas around the Orla area in northern Culberson County. At times you could not see more than 50 feet in front of you along U.S. Highway 285 near Orla.
