ABC-7 FIRST ALERT: Warm today, gusty winds Monday

Happy Saturday to the Borderland! We are under an ABC-7 First Alert for the strong and dry winds on Monday. For today, we got up to 87 in El Paso and tomorrow is going to be a little bit of the same.

This coming Monday, the Borderland could see westerly wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour in the afternoon hours. Blowing dust will be possible with these winds. The High Wind Watch has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning and a Wind Advisory which will go into effect Monday morning. Correspondingly, the Fire Weather Watch issued yesterday has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning. This will go into effect on Monday as well.

Likewise, for the rest of the week, it will be warm and breezy with highs near 90 on Thursday.
