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:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Palomas
"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. https://app.watchduty.org/i/47153

J. S. Pigati et al., Independent #age estimates resolve the #controversy of ancient human #footprints at #WhiteSands, @ScienceMagazine 382(6666), 2023. 
New analyses seem to confirm a higher age for ancient #footprints at New Mexico’s #WhiteSands National Park, suggesting humans were present in southern North America about 23,000-20,000 years ago, i.e. during the Last Glacial Maximum:
