Much like last night, two clusters of strong t-showers are approaching El Paso from the north. These storms are likely to cause a significant gust front and stir up the dust. Storms have the potential to become severe and unlock heavy rainfall. Do not drive into flooded roadways.

The low will drop to 72, and the SE winds will range from 5-15 mph with occasional gusts. Some gusts may become quite strong.
