An intense cyclone emerging over the southern High Plains on Friday (14 March 2025) brought high-impact weather to the entire region. This included very strong winds, thick blowing dust, severe thunderstorms, precipitation and extremely critical fire weather.

The South Plains, Rolling Plains and southern Texas Panhandle was positioned on the south side of the rapidly strengthening storm system, an ideal location for intense westerly winds. On this day, the winds did not disappoint. After a breezy overnight leading into Friday, a Pacific cold front raced from west-to-east across the region during the early morning hours.

Severe-caliber wind gusts (58 mph or stronger) advanced out of eastern New Mexico and quickly across the Caprock and Rolling Plains Friday morning. Many locations recorded wind gusts of 60 to 70+ mph, which was accompanied by a brief bout of thick blowing dust. As the above animation illustrates, the initial round of dust moved shifted quickly off into Oklahoma and North Texas. However, this was just foreshadowing of what was about to come.

Even more intense westerly winds evolved over the region through the mid-late morning hours and continued through most of the afternoon before finally easing in the evening. The widespread and long-duration intense wind storm picked up copious amounts of dust from eastern New Mexico and the South Plains region, creating a thick shroud of dust that dropped the visibility to a half mile or less. Many locations, particularly downwind of open fields and construction sites, experienced brownout conditions, making travel extremely hazardous.

Unfortunately, the limited visibility did contribute to numerous accidents across the region. This included high profile vehicles, including 18-wheelers, that were tumbled by the wind. The wind also caused significant tree and property damage across the region, while the thick dust created respiratory issues for those that ventured out in it.

Over the course of the windy Friday, peak wind gusts of 65 to 75 mph were common. Several locations, primarily over the northern South Plains and southern Texas Panhandle, experienced gusts as high as 75 to 85 mph!  Peak wind gusts measured within the Lubbock Forecast Area included 84 mph at the Friona and Dimmitt West Texas Mesonet (WTM) sites.

Just as impressive, peak sustained wind speeds of 50 to 65 mph were measured over most of the area on Friday. Also, the duration of the intense winds was incredible. Many spots experience 60 to 120 minutes (1 to 2 hours) when the wind was gusting over 58 mph. The Amherst WTM was the winner (or loser, depending on your point of view), recording 201 minutes with wind gusts at or above 58 mph on Friday.

Unfortunately, the intensity and duration of the winds did cause significant damage around the region, as the above and below pictures demonstrate. Officially, the Lubbock Airport recorded a peak wind gust of 82 mph, measured at 1:23 pm, which is the highest wind gust on record for the spring (March, April, May period) dating back to 1945.

The wind and blowing dust weren't the only impact to the region. The intense dry winds also supported the rapid development and spread of wildfires, primarily across eastern parts of the Texas Panhandle into central Oklahoma. A couple of wildfires ignited further south too, but thankfully, they were able to be extinguished relatively quickly.

 
Infrared satellite loop valid from 10:01 am to 8:21 pm on Friday (14 March 2025). The dark spots are "hotspots" where wildfires are ongoing.

Even farther east, where low-level moisture was available, the dynamic storm system generated many severe, some which became tornadic, over the central and southern Mississippi River Valley. One storm also produced a swath of severe-caliber hail over parts of Central and East Texas, from east of Austin through College Station and on to Shreveport, LA.
