...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 8 PM MDT THIS
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has
issued a Wind Advisory, which is in effect from noon today to
8 PM MDT this evening.

* TIMING...Winds will increase by this afternoon and continue into
the evening hours to around sunset.

* WINDS...Wind speeds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph will be
possible by late this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Strong cross winds across major roads and highways
will create difficult driving conditions for high profile

especially in the dust prone regions west of Las Cruces. In
addition, small loose objects outside may be blown around.

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.
