| episode_narrative | A powerful upper level low pressure system that intensified over Colorado forced a potent dry slot and associated strong winds over New Mexico. Many locations across central and eastern New Mexico reported peak wind gusts up to 60 mph, with a few locations across the eastern plains peaking up to 70 mph. Numerous reports of damage were received across the region. Widespread blowing dust across the region reduced visibilities below 3 miles, with a few areas of Curry and Roosevelt counties down below one quarter mile for several hours. Intense crosswinds along a section of railroad near Fort Sumner overturned 30 to 40 cars of a BNSF train carrying cases of tuna. |
| event_narrative | Cannon Air Force Base meteorologist reported visibility less than one quarter mile with sky obscured in blowing dust for 5 hours between roughly noon and 5 pm. Says this is worst dust storm since 2006. |
