It was a dynamic weather day in New Mexico.

This weather satellite loop shows us a variety of activity:

- overall west-to-east flow of dry air in the western half of New Mexico. This dry air is not very dusty, at least not initially.

- moist air over the eastern half, which tends to be hazier. This haziness is seen best near the end of the loop when the sun angle gets low.

- strong thunderstorms developing along the dry line

- outflows and gust fronts from the storms raising dust and pushing it east against the flow of the dry air

- strong breezes in northeast Sonora, Mexico boost fire activity. The bluish smoke plume becomes visible near the end of the loop. The strong breezes also pick up dust at the end of the loop...colored tan/brown

- the moist air can't push further west because the terrain gets higher.

This is a follow up to an earlier post/toot about the Dry Line weather system:

#NMwx Hail and tornado risks

Mesoscale Discussion 0569
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0228 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

Areas affected...Portions of eastern New Mexico into the Trans-Pecos

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 261928Z - 262130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Large to very-large hail and perhaps a tornado or two are
possible with supercells near an outflow boundary this
afternoon/evening. A watch may eventually be needed. Convective
trends will be monitored.

A watch may eventually be needed. Convective trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...With continuing convection within Oklahoma and western North Texas, outflow has continued to push west/southwestward into eastern New Mexico and through the South Plains. While a few towering cumulus have been observed along this outflow boundary during the afternoon, residence time within the zone of ascent has been too short to promote deep convection. Farther to the west, southeasterly winds have pushed mid/upper 50s F dewpoints into the southern Rockies. Convection has been slowly deepening per day cloud phase imagery. The most likely scenario is for a few storms to develop within the next 2-3 hours and propagate east-southeastward as the outflow boundary pushes up against the terrain.

CNN: A rare virga bomb just shattered a wind record in Texas. Here’s what it is

"... A record-breaking, triple-digit wind gust roared through part of Texas on Tuesday, but it wasn’t from a tornado or a hurricane.

An airport weather station in Midland, Texas, recorded a wind gust of 111 mph Tuesday evening – the first triple-digit gust in its 94-year-history in weather reporting. It shattered the previous record of 97 mph set on June 26, 2007. .."
