Extreme Winds to Start Week

High Winds Continue Friday

Very strong southwest winds are expected this afternoon ahead of our next weather system. The strongest winds are expected over the Guadalupe Mountains and the surrounding plains. These strong winds and potential blowing dust may be hazardous to drivers.

Windy and extremely dry weather conditions ramp up fire weather threat Friday for portions of the region. Dangerous fire weather is expected from the Davis Mountains to the Marfa Plateau, and into the Big Bend. Use caution to avoid any fire starts on Friday.

Temperatures are expected to be warm and well into the 70s and 80s this afternoon and again on Friday. Gusty winds will accompany this warm weather. Heading into this weekend, cooler temperatures in the 50s and 60s and lessening winds offer quieter weather.

An intense weather system brought widespread extremely windy conditions to the region early this week. Most locations experienced a prolonged period of wind gusts well over 50 mph. The strongest winds occurred near the Guadalupe Mountains and Snyder area. On top of the winds, widespread blowing dust resulted in hazardous driving for travelers.

Windy conditions are expected to continue Friday for portions of southeast New Mexico and west Texas. As a result, a High Wind Warning and Advisory has been extended well into Friday evening. Please use caution while driving in the areas if you must travel.
