...STRONG WINDS AND BLOWING DUST EXPECTED ACROSS NEW MEXICO AND
WEST TEXAS ON MONDAY...

.An upper level storm system will pass over the Four Corners
region on Monday, with lee side troughing extending southward over
New Mexico and west Texas. This will allow strong winds to develop
Monday afternoon and evening across west Texas and southern New 
Mexico. Winds will increase by noon and become strongest during 
the late afternoon, with gusty conditions overnight. Blowing dust
will be likely across desert areas leading to reduced 
visibilities. Travel will be hazardous, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Winds will diminish slightly overnight, though 
still breezy.
