A lot going on weather-wise for Wednesday: A passing shortwave disturbance will bring a variety of weather to the Borderland. Cooler Temperatures - a drop of around 10 degrees behind a Pacific front moving through from the west. More moisture and clouds - improved RH, and mostly cloudy skies. Strong westerly winds - west winds increasing to 20-30 mph with gusts 40+ mph.  Higher over mountains. Isolated to Scattered rain showers (best chances over the northern areas, including the Gila region and Sacs). Possibility for blowing dust (but clouds and cooler temperatures may reduce the impacts, by limiting the dust).
