Wind Advisory
Statement as of 3:15 PM MDT on May 11, 2008


... Wind Advisory in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM MDT Monday...

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM MDT Monday.

Expect southwest winds at speeds from 25 to 35 mph with gusts from
45 to 50 mph. The strongest winds will favor the high terrain and
locations east of the northern and central mountains. Blowing dust
will drop the visibility below 1 mile at times in dust prone
locations. Drivers of high profile vehicles should anticipate
dangerous cross winds on northwest to southeast oriented
roadways... such as U.S. Highway 285 from Eldorado to Roswell and
U.S. Highway 550 from Bloomfield to Cuba.

Motorists should exercise caution while driving in the Wind
Advisory area. Sudden gusts of wind may cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. Extra attention should be given to cross winds.
