TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>A localized dust storm is kicked up by low-level outflow that races ahead of a cold front in southern New Mexico.</p><p>This is an animation loop from visible light weather satellite images, overlayed with composite radar, 500mb isobars and wind barbs, and county boundaries and highways.</p><p>The screengrab is annotated to show the direction of motion and the low-level outflow boundary that kicks up lots of desert dust. (This screengrab is taken from one of the later frames in the animation loop.)</p><p>You probably have to watch the loop more than once to see the subtle initial appearance of the low-level outflow boundary and dust...that becomes all too obvious by the end of the animation loop.</p><p>[Edit/add: METAR history (final screengrab) for Alamogordo showing how visibility went to hell as the outflow and dust storm moved into the area.</p><p><a href="https://metar-taf.com/history/Kalm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">metar-taf.com/history/Kalm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> ]</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NewMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewMexico</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NMwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NMwx</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Dust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dust</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DustStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DustStorm</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wind</span></a></p>
