Special Weather Statement


... Winds and cooler weather moving into southern New Mexico and
West Texas...

A storm system continues dropping southeastward towards New Mexico
this morning. The system will be over New Mexico by this evening
and into the Texas Panhandle Saturday mid day. Ahead of the storm
winds will increase to around 25 to 30 mph this afternoon with a few
higher gusts 40 mph... and a few areas of blowing dust are
possible. By late this afternoon into much of tonight... a chance
of showers will exist from the Gila WIlderness across to the
Sacramento Mountains. Snow levels will start out quite high but by
Saturday morning... will fall to around 5000 feet in the Sacramento
Mountains... though significant snowfall is not expected at this
time.

Late tonight and early Saturday morning a sharp cold front will
move west across the area and significantly lower high
temperatures for the weekend. High temperatures Saturday will be
about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than today.

For Saturday night... with clearing skies and light winds
unseasonably cool temperatures will occur. Across The Lowlands
urban temperatures will likely stay just above freezing,,,but in
outlying areas the low temperature may drop to as cold as 25 to 30
degrees.
