Yet another dust storm over the southeast half of New Mexico, far west Texas, the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma panhandle, extending into Colorado and Kansas.

The dust is coming from prehistoric lake beds in northern Chihuahua, Mexico:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Pal

"Presently its basin is a major source of airborne dust in the region."

With the severe drought conditions in this region, it takes far weaker winds to create these dust storms compared to previous decades. Visibility at my house is less than 1/2 mile.

Note that the dust is tan, but that the gypsum dust from White Sands is paler. A fire is burning in northeast Sonora, Mexico...the smoke plume is bluish. A fire develops in central New Mexico (Rio Grande valley, town of Socorro) at the end of the animation loop. app.watchduty.org/i/47153

Dust storm and many wind driven fires in the southwest US. Same song, 22nd verse.

One fire is about a half hour drive from me:
app.watchduty.org/i/44174

"Emergency personnel were juggling road closures due to dust storms and high winds—San Augustin Pass, just east of Las Cruces, reported a gust at 93 mph.

US Highway 54 was briefly closed from the southern Otero County line near El Paso to the northern Otero County and Lincoln County lines due to high winds, blowing dust and vehicle wrecks. Crews could be heard over the radio leaving an accident on Highway 54 to head towards the Mayhill-adjacent fire.

The Otero County Electric Cooperative (OCEC) reported dozens of outages affecting thousands of customers from Timberon to Carrizozo. Line crews are working on restoring power to the affected areas."

Today's dust storm activity is strongest over the Big Bend region of Texas, and northeast Chihuahua in Mexico.

Smoke plumes from several fires in Chihuahua and south-central Texas are also visible.

AP:Heat-related monkey deaths are now reported in several Mexican states apnews.com/article/mexico-heat #heatwave #mexico #MXwx #climateemergency

AP News · Heat-related monkey deaths are now reported in several Mexican statesHeat-related howler monkeys deaths in Mexico have been recorded in a total of four states, environmental authorities said. The Environment Department said late Tuesday that monkey deaths have now been recorded in a total of four states, mostly on the Gulf of Mexico. The department also said tests confirmed the primates died of heat stroke. Experts said the country's current drought also probably played a role noting “a lack of water in the streams and springs in the areas where the monkeys live.” The department did not give the latest estimate on the number of deaths, but earlier said at least 157 monkeys had perished since the die-off began in early May.

AP: Heat is killing howler monkeys in Mexico... "Meanwhile, an animal park in northern Mexico confirmed it has received reports that at least a hundred parrots, bats and other animals have died, apparently of dehydration...he number is likely only a small percentage of the animals affected...There are going to be a lot of casualties to the ecosystem if we continue this trend of heat waves in the region..."

Circled in red is an infrared signature of a probable fire that has developed near Roswell Air Center. (Fire signs were not seen in the visible light images...too much dust.)
