Other features of interest included an undular bore that developed ahead of the advancing cold front in Texas, and smaller plumes of blowing dust that originated from a cluster of dry lake beds in central New Mexico late in the day. Surface wind gusts in the 50-60 knot range were seen, and visibility was restricted to less than 1 mile at some locations.<\/p>\n 1-minute\u00a0Mesoscale Domain Sector<\/strong><\/a> GOES-16 Dust RGB<\/strong><\/a> and Split Window Difference<\/strong><\/a> (10.3 \u00b5m \u2013 12.3 \u00b5m) images (below)<\/strong> <\/em>showed that the dust signatures (brighter shades of<\/em> magenta in the Dust RGB images, and brighter shades of yellow in the SWD images)<\/em> diminished as the winds began to subside during the late afternoon hours.<\/p>\n
