| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level low crossing the western CONUS brought a strong jetstream and Pacific cold front across New Mexico March 3rd. Strong southwesterly winds mixed down to the surface through much of the southeastern half of the state, producing gusts of 45 to 75 mph. Blowing dust was lofted up producing low to near zero visibility in parts of Chaves and Lincoln Counties. Two multi-vehicles crashes were reported along U.S. Highway 285, one near Lake Arthur and the other involving two semi-trucks just south of Roswell. Thankfully, no loss of life was reported. Strong northerly to northwesterly winds wrapped around the backside of the upper low as it exited east of NM during the night of March 3rd through the 4th. Winter weather in the form of blowing snow impacted areas from Raton Pass to Union County before high winds filled in across eastern NM. Strong west to northwest winds gusting 60 to 80 mph were observed over areas mainly along and east of the central mountain chain. High wind damage and blowing dust produced more impacts to property and closed area highways, including area highways near and south of Roswell, NM. |
