Winds should be strong enough this afternoon and into the early evening to cause intense blowing dust in parts of northern Mexico, southern New Mexico, and far West Texas, with light amounts of blowing dust in the southern Panhandle. The intense blowing dust could raise the daily PM10 AQI to "Moderate" or possibly higher levels in the El Paso area. Patchy light amounts of smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America are covering much of South, Central, and North Central Texas this morning, but levels should decrease this afternoon and evening as a cold front moves through and daily PM2.5 AQI will probably be in the "Good" range in this area. Elsewhere in the state, moderate to strong winds and low incoming background levels should help to keep air quality in the "Good" range.
