NM Border Air Quality Blog

Jan. 18 and 19-
I am looking at a forecast involving wind and some blowing dust for Friday along the border. For Las Cruces the Friday forecast from the NWS is "Breezy, with a west wind between 13 and 22 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph."

Below are this morning's observations at a couple NWS Cooperative weather stations.

                 Yesterday            Today

Station       High(F) Normal    Low(F)  Normal  Record Low Precip

NMSU            67      57       28      28       15 (1987) 0.00"
Antelope Wells  69      60       26      28       11 (2008) 0.00"

Good air quality was the fare for today as the AQI forecast showed green over the whole region.

I missed my opportunity to visit the Antelope Wells Coop station today as the Coop Program Manager was going down there today.
