A High Wind Warning remains in effect for the Guadalupe Mtn's for southwesterly winds gusting up to around 70 mph. Wind Advisories continue in effect for the southeastern plains and parts of southern New Mexico and West Texas for southwesterly winds gusting up to around 50-55 mph this afternoon.  

Localized areas of blowing dust will likely develop this afternoon especially over and near open or exposed lots, fields, construction sites, and in or around freshly plowed farmlands. Watch for sudden drops in the visibility down to near zero at times in these areas.

Widely scattered high based rain showers, thunderstorms, and virga bombs may also add to the blowing dust problem at times. These will be highly localized but you can expect very gusty winds and reduced visibility in the blowing dust near these when they happen.
