High Wind in Reeves County and Upper Trans Pecos, Texas
High Wind February 10, 2009 · Reeves County and Upper Trans Pecos, Texas
The wider storm
A strong upper trough moved across portions of Arizona into the region. Accompanying this trough was a 120 knot upper level jet with 40 knot winds near the low levels of the atmosphere. As a result, a deep surface low developed over southeastern Colorado and the Texas Panhandle resulting in a very tight pressure gradient and strong surface winds. The winds also resulted in restricted visibilities of less than 1/4 mile for some locations.
