Special Weather Statement


... Light freeze across southern New Mexico and far West Texas
Sunday morning...

An upper storm system and surface cold front moved through
southern New Mexico and far West Texas on Saturday. With the exit
of the storm system Saturday afternoon drier air has moved over
the region. In addition northerly winds behind the front have
brought cooler air to the area. Tonight... with clear skies...
dry air... and light winds... temperatures will rapidly cool after
sunset. By dawn Sunday morning temperatures are expected to cool
below freezing for nearly all of The Lowlands across the region.

Tonight's freeze is not expected to be extreme or of extended
duration but pets and tender Spring plants will be adversely
affected by the much below normal overnight temperatures.

This evening you are encouraged to take measures to protect the
four ps... people... pets... plants... pipes.
