It was Memorial Day 1995 that a freshly-graduated meteorologist from the University of Arizona started his TV career in El Paso on the morning news on KVIA. That day was terrifying and moved too fast; but by Wednesday of that week, I figured out how to make that clicker work, and off I went!! Thank you, El Paso, for all the fun, all the great experiences, all the wonderful people I have come to know and love.

Monday is in a whole different category. Prepare for strong, damaging winds on Monday. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast for Saturday:TONIGHT: The skies will be partly cloudy, and the SW winds will range from 15-35 mph with stronger gusts on the east slopes of the mountains.
