Stratus Clouds Blanket Sandia Mountains in New Mexico

Storyful

Strong winds blew clouds over the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sunday, October 16, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

A “low-pressure system” moved across southern Arizona, causing moisture and rising air “feeding” into New Mexico on Sunday, the NWS explained.

The NWS reported wind gusts as high as 60 mph (96 km/h) in Albuquerque.
