One of Those Days

Just a few minutes ago...

We've been under a high wind warning all day.  From the NWS in ABQ:

A High Wind Warning remains in effect until 8 PM MDT this evening.

* Location... Central Mountain ranges from the sandias and manzanos southward to the south central mountains eastward to the Texas state line. This includes the I-40 corridor from Tijeras Canyon eastward... the east Central Plains and Chaves County.

* Winds... sustained from the southwest at 35 to 45 mph with gusts of 60 to 70 mph. The higher peaks will likely experience even stronger gusts. 

I don't think we got any gusts over 50 mph but we HAVE experienced enough wind to put a significant amount of dust in the air.  It was warm today as well...with a high of about 86 degrees... so we broke the seal on the AC.  Dang!  It feels almost like summer.
