High and Dry
Strong winds, persistent drought
create hazardous weather conditions
Though the return to daylight savings time Sunday robbed us of a precious
hour of sleep, by the end of the day, most celebrated the extended daylight hours
that evening, welcoming the arrival of warmer weather and the promise of
spring. The honeymoon was over quickly, though, when Texas Panhandle resi-
dents received a harsh reminder of spring’s less-beloved nature on Tuesday.
Though the day began well enough, a gentle breeze quickly accelerated to
31 mph with 39 mph gusts by noontime, only made bearable by the pleasant 70-
degree temperatures that accompanied it. Around 4:30 pm, the temperature
started to drop in what seemed like 10-degree increments as a cold front ar-
rived, borne by the wind. The skies became overcast and hazy, filling with blow-
ing dirt as 40-45 mph gusts snapped flags (like those at the River Valley Pioneer
Museum in photo at top) crisply to attention. The official high wind speed was
43 mph at 3:30 pm, according to the Gatlin Weather Station. By 3 am Wednes-
day morning, the wind had finally calmed—but not before a few more hours of
sleep were lost as we listened to the howling wind and wondered what was going
bump in the night.
The National Weather Service forecast promises better at week’s end.
Though wind chill values are expected to be between 26 and 36 degrees early
Thursday morning, sunny skies and a daytime high of 69 degrees are on the ho-
rizon, with light to variable 15-20 mph winds gusting to a mere 25 mph.
Daytime temperatures are expected to remain in themid-to-high 60s through
Saturday with moderately windy conditions prevailing throughout the week-
end. Friday’s forecast brings partly sunny skies and a 63-degree high with 5-10
mph winds. Saturday will be mostly sunny with a 67-degree high and 5-10 mph
winds. A 20 percent chance of showers Saturday night brings the only promise
of precipitation. Sunday is expected to be partly sunny and slightly cooler, with
a high near 56 and 20 mph north winds gusting up to 25.
