Expecting showers & storms to develop again this afternoon across portions of the area. While they don't look like much on this forecast model, the biggest threat, like we've been seeing, is strong, gusty outflow winds that will be capable of creating blowing dust. #nmwx #txwx

Westerly winds will increase through the day today. Expect peak winds to be 20-30mph with higher gusts between 3pm-7pm. Areas of blowing dust will be possible in the later afternoon hours. Winds will start to subside after sunset before a cold front moves in overnight #nmwx #txwx
