The approach and passage of a large and intense storm system brought another round of wind and dust to the South Plains and Rolling Plains on the 29th. The winds increased beginning early in the afternoon as the system ejected from the central and southern Rockies into the High Plains. Southwesterly to westerly winds gusting to 55 mph and higher spread eastward over much of the Caprock during the afternoon and evening hours. The strongest winds, in excess of 65 mph, affected the western South Plains into the south-central Texas Panhandle, generally peaking between 1300 CST and 1800 CST. Copious amounts of blowing dust were lifted by the winds and spread northeastward across the region. On the back side of the system on the morning of the 30th, virga showers generated one additional high wind report at Childress.
