Parts of the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma were under blowing dust warnings until early Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities in New Mexico <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/1EBhe4fjnz\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">urged people to avoid driving<\/a> through the severe dust storms that hit the state on Tuesday. Poor visibility because of the dust had led to dangerous driving conditions and some road closures, according to New Mexico\u2019s Transportation Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Weather Service\u2019s bureau in Norman, Okla., said <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NWSNorman\/status\/1902157815428399474\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">on social media<\/a> that visibility would drop to half a mile or less, especially in southwest Oklahoma, on Tuesday night, making travel \u201cextremely hazardous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Severe weather and crashes led to the closure of a stretch of Highway 54, in the village of Ruidoso, N.M., about 65 miles west of Roswell, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VillageRuidoso\/status\/1902135421603098818\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to the authorities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More than 35,000 customers were without power in New Mexico and Texas on Tuesday night, according to PowerOutage.us, a tracking website. In a notice on its website, PNM, a power provider in New Mexico, told customers to prepare for outages because of the severe weather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A red flag warning, indicating a high risk that fires could start or spread, was in place for parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois until Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Wind gusts of over 60 miles per hour were forecast for parts of Texas\u2019s Panhandle and northwest overnight, according to the Weather Service, with the potential for new fires and continued dust storms. The wind direction was expected to shift in some areas tonight in the southern Plains, which could create challenges for firefighters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Damaging winds were also expected to pick up in Oklahoma and West Kansas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Texas, a fire near Borger in Hutchinson County broke out on Tuesday evening and quickly spread to 350 acres, prompting evacuation orders for some residents, according to officials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another fire in a largely agricultural area in northern Dallam County more than doubled, to about 15,000 acres, and was 50 percent contained by Tuesday night, according to the Texas A&amp;M Forest Service.
