High Wind in Northern Sangre De Cristo Mountains, New Mexico

The public station at Kachina Peak in Taos Ski Valley measured a peak wind gust of 63 mph.

An upper low continued to spin across the northern Rockies and northern Great Plains during the day on May 7th. Deep daytime mixing across New Mexico allowed stronger winds at the base of the upper low to mix down to the surface during the afternoon and early evening hours resulting in several high wind gusts across the northern mountains and surrounding highlands. Winds quickly tapered off after sunset.
