With the strong sustained winds and expected gusts upwards of 70 mph today, we can also expect medium to high chances for areas of dust to blow in from New Mexico as well. This dust could cause local to widespread reductions in visibility during the morning through afternoon hours.
Critical fire weather conditions will be found across the Panhandles today. West winds will gust from 60 to more than 75 mph at times. Lowest relative humidity values are expected to fall into the 10 to 15 percent range.
