There is a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) of severe weather today across portions of southern New Mexico and northwestern El Paso county. The main hazards will be wind gusts 70 mph or greater at times, frequent lightning, and localized flooding especially over mountainous terrain. The storms will likely begin to develop over the mountains around noon time, before transitioning into the lowlands around mid afternoon. If planning outdoor activities, make sure to have a couple of ways to receive the warnings! When thunder roars go indoors! If flooded, turn around, don't drown!
More thunderstorm outflows are expected today, a few of which could have gusts up to 70 MPH! With the strong winds, blowing dust will be a concern across portions of Southwest NM, especially the Lordsburg Playa.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms is in store for Sunday along with warm temperatures. Scattered mountain and isolated thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon and evening. Strong outflow winds to 40-50 mph will move out of the mountains into the deserts with another potential for blowing dust.
