El Paso. The National Weather Service just issued a weather alert for the region, and the afternoon wind is not playing around today.
The alert covering Doña Ana County and the Las Cruces area is tied directly to elevated fire weather conditions. Dry air, gusty winds, and warm temperatures together create the kind of environment where a spark doesn't need much encouragement.
Now, the good news about the heat. It's warm, not brutal.
The morning commute should be relatively clear. The winds tend to build through the afternoon, so the drive in is your easier window.
Zooming out for a second. What's happening today isn't isolated.
El Paso. Nineties, gusty, and the alerts are real today.
