Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 5:07AM MDT by NWS Albuquerque NM

A series of storm systems passing to the north will steer a
strong jet stream over northern and central New Mexico Tuesday. A
potent surface trough will also develop in the lee of the
southern Rockies, where high temperatures will soar up to 12
degrees above 30-year averages. As a result, west wind gusts are
likely to peak from 45 to 60 mph across the forecast area. The
strongest gusts will occur during mid-to-late afternoon, favoring
the mountains east of the continental divide, as well as northeast
and east central parts of the state. Due to ongoing drought
conditions, blowing dust will make driving dangerous in dust-
prone, lower-elevation locations, where the visibility may drop
near zero at times in the afternoon and early evening. The most
intense blowing dust is expected east of the central mountain
chain, including portions of I-25 and I-40. Further, crosswinds
will make driving hazardous on north-to-south oriented roads, and
critical fire weather conditons are expected along and east of
I-25. Elevated fire weather conditions are forecast further west.
Make plans to secure loose objects in advance, so they don’t blow
away on Tuesday. In addition, motorists and others with outdoor
plans should monitor the latest forecasts, Watches, Warnings, and
Advisories for updates on this potentially dangerous wind storm.
