...STRONG WEST WINDS FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEW MEXICO TODAY...

.West winds will increase through late this morning ahead of a
storm system moving south from Colorado. The strongest winds are 
expected between 1 pm and 6 pm along the Interstate 40 corridor 
from Gallup to Grants, the Southwest Mountains, the Sangre de 
Cristo Mountains, and the Capitan and Sacramento Mountains. Winds
will turn sharply to the northwest as a strong cold front moves

along north to south oriented roadways. Very dry conditions the
past several months will increase the potential for blowing dust,
especially downwind of open fields, dry arroyo beds, construction
sites, and other dust prone locations.
