Storm Summary Of Friday/Saturday March 14/15, 2025 High Wind - Blowing Dust Event.


March 15, 2025.
My Brother's Yard.
Atoka 6 Miles South Of Artesia. 

My brother's yard was sandblasted in Friday's high winds. This is not normal. You should be looking at berumada grass instead of sand that blew across the road from the field in the background. 


Highest Reported Wind Gusts Friday & Saturday.

(Friday, March 14, 2025).



New Mexico MesoWest Peak Wind Gusts.
(Saturday, March 15, 2025).


West Texas Mesonet Peak Wind Gusts Friday.



The weather pattern we are stuck in now is very similar to what we saw in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. A cold Pacific Deciatial Osculation (PDO) was prevalent during these decades. 

Whenever a cold PDO occurs, the eastern Pacific Ocean water temperatures tend to be colder than normal, which promotes more occurrences of La NiƱas. This simply means warmer and drier conditions for the area with more frequent short-term droughts. This also means more high-wind events, dust storms, extremely dangerous fire weather conditions, and warmer-than-normal temperatures. 

Warm PDOs favor the development of more El NiƱo, thus wetter falls, winters, and springs.

As a kid growing up in Artesia in the 1960s and 1970s, I remember well our high winds and dust storms in the winter and spring, which were numerous. 








Multiple vehicle accidents occurred in Eddy and Lea Counties and across parts of West Texas due to the brownout conditions with zero visibility in blowing dust. Stop signs, power poles, trees, and roof damage were reported in the area. The Carlsbad Airport ASOS reported blowing dust for 24 hours beginning at midnight Thursday into midnight Friday. For much of this time frame, the visibility was below one mile. And a large grass fire was still burning in Mora County as of Saturday afternoon. It has already burned 15,000 acres.
