Published February 22, 2023 3:51 PM

Peak wind gusts have exceeded 60 mph across El Paso and southern NM this afternoon and evening. El Paso has peaked out so far at 61 mph while places like Deming hit 67 mph. Visibility has been reduced due to the blowing dust and sand.

The very strong winds will gradually decrease later on tonight but the colder air will spill in behind a cold front. Wind chills will persist tonight.

Much less wind tomorrow with gusts around 30 mph with cooler temps.

Our next big wind event expected Sunday with more blowing dust and sand possible.
