Special Statement


... Winter weather possible Sunday and Sunday evening across
southeast New Mexico and much of West Texas...

Much colder air associated with a large surface high pressure
system in the northern plains will filter into southeast New
Mexico and West Texas beginning tonight and continue Saturday
through Sunday. By Sunday high temperatures are expected to be in
the 30s to lower 40s across much of the region. Along with the
colder temperatures a mixture of rain... sleet... snow and freezing
rain will be possible Sunday and Sunday evening as an upper level
storm system approaches from The Rockies. There is still
uncertainty in the track and strength of this storm but some
accumulation of freezing or frozen precipitation is possible
Sunday and Sunday evening across the region. Residents across
southeast New Mexico and West Texas should continue to monitor the
latest forecasts regarding this developing winter weather system
and be prepared to take action.
