Blowing dust developed in New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma on 22 January 2012. Winds of 60-70 mph gusted Texas, and reduced visibility to 0.5 miles. A large number of individual blowing dust plumes converged into a single large blowing dust cloud. The primary large dust plume moved to the northeast Oklahoma, meanwhile, smaller dust plumes moved southeast Oklahoma and Texas panhandle regions behind a secondary cold front.
