...WINTRY WEATHER TO IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL LIKELY BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR SNOW TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...COULD
ALSO BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY CROSS NORTHERN OLD MEXICO SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY. AS IT DOES SO...AMPLE MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL RESULT
IN PRECIPITATION FROM THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS EASTWARD ACROSS THE
SACRAMENTO AND CAPITAN MOUNTAINS AND INTO CHAVES COUNTY. AT THE
LOWEST ELEVATIONS...PRECIPITATION MAY BE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
DURING THE DAY...BUT AT NIGHT...SNOW WILL BE THE DOMINANT
PRECIPITATION TYPE.
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS IF THE UPPER LOW TAKES A SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHERLY
TRACK LIKE THE LATEST COMPUTER MODELS ARE SUGGESTING. COMPUTER MODELS
ARE ALSO SUGGESTING THAT THE UPPER LOW WILL BE SLOWER TO EXIT THE
REGION...THEREFORE...SNOW MAY LINGER INTO TUESDAY ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST.
RESIDENTS AND PERSONS TRAVELING THROUGH THE REGION WILL WANT TO STAY
ADVISED OF THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AS THIS WINTER
WEATHER EVENT UNFOLDS. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WEBSITE...OR YOUR PREFERRED WEATHER
