...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has
issued a High Wind Watch, which is in effect from Thursday
morning through Thursday evening.

* TIMING...Winds will increase so that by late morning we will
begin to see the stronger winds. The strongest winds will occur
during the afternoon hours and then begin to slow a little after
midnight

* WINDS...Winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 65 mph will be
possible.

* IMPACTS...Hazardous driving conditions due to strong gusts will
affect north/south routes with dangerous cross winds. Blowing
dust will reduce visibilities in some areas to near zero. Damage
to structures, signs, and trees is also possible. Wildfire and
brush fire danger will be critical so caution required with
outdoor flames and sparks.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A High Wind Watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Sustained winds of at least 40 mph, or gusts of
58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue to monitor the latest
forecasts.
