Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 6:58AM MST by NWS El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM

Winds increase during the day on Friday as an upper-level system
swings through the region from the west. West winds of 25 to 35
mph are forecast during the afternoon with gusts up to 50 mph
along the I-10 corridor. The strongest gusts are expected along
east slopes of the Sacramento Mountains, Organs, and Franklins.
With the combination of gusty winds, warmer temperatures, and
recent dry conditions, blowing dust will be a concern along the
International border Friday afternoon and evening. Winds decrease
Friday evening but remain breezy for Saturday.

A strong cold front moves in from the east Saturday night.
Morning Wind Chill values will range from 15 to 25 in the lowlands

colder air is set to arrive late Monday night into Tuesday. By
Tuesday morning, wind chill values will range from 5 to 15 degrees
with mountains below zero. Highs on Tuesday will stay in the 30s.
We remain cold Wednesday but will begin a slow warm-up afterward.
