El Paso, the Red Flag Warning is not a forecast anymore. It's here.
The wind alone would be concerning. But combine it with humidity dropping to around five percent, and you've got conditions where a small fire can become a large one fast.
On top of the fire risk, blowing dust advisories are active for Sunday night. Strong winds pushing across dry, open terrain mean reduced visibility on the roads.
Practically speaking, here's what this means for your day. Skip the bonfire.
The warning runs through Monday, and the exact timing of the strongest gusts is still uncertain. Fifty miles per hour is possible at any point through early week.
