The Roswell Air Center measured a 58 mph wind gust.
The wider storm
Deep daytime mixing allowed strong winds at the base of an upper low over the Great Plains to mix down to the surface across southern and eastern NM. This resulted in a brief high wind gust of 58 mph at the Roswell Air Center. The strong winds resulted in some blowing dust in the Hagerman area which led to an approximately 2 hour closure of State Highway 2. Strong winds and blowing dust subsided during the mid evening hours.
