...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM MST
THIS EVENING...
...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY

The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has
issued a Wind Advisory, which is in effect from 11 AM this
morning to 7 PM MST this evening. A High Wind Watch has also been
issued. This High Wind Watch is in effect from Friday morning
through Friday evening.

* TIMING...Winds will increase late this morning and reach their
peak speeds mid to late afternoon, before diminishing around
sunset.

* WINDS...Winds of 25 to 35 mph with a few gusts to 45 mph.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will create minor driving problems,
especially high profile vehicles. Blowing dust may become
significant hazard from Deming west due to poor visibilities.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds
this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

A High Wind Watch means there is the potential for a hazardous

58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue to monitor the latest
forecasts.
