ABC-7 First Alert continues: Air quality is poor today

Storms that developed last night and overnight caused gusty winds which allowed a lot of dust and sand to be dispersed across the Borderland. Those who are sensitive to the poor air quality are encouraged to stay indoors or wear a protective mask.

Temps have been running well above average again today. El Paso has hit its 36th triple digit temp of the year so far (we average 33 days). Storm chances will be primarily in our western and northwestern counties tonight - kicking up the winds in spots.

The chance of storms will hang around all week with above normal temps.
