HIGHLY UNCERTAIN. KGUY HAS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL TO HOLD ONTO MVFR
CEILINGS FOR A WHILE, SO HAVE KEPT MENTIONS IN THERE FOR A FEW

SNOW HAS ENDED IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND LOW CIGS HAVE MOSTLY
CLEARED OUT. GUSTY NW TO N WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN MOST
AREAS, WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS IN NORTHEASTERN NM BEHIND A
BACKDOOR FRONT. GUSTS OF 20 TO 35 KTS WILL BE COMMONPLACE IN
EASTERN NM THROUGH 21Z, WITH WINDS TAPERING OFF THEREAFTER. WINDS
IN EASTERN NM TURN MORE EASTERLY OVERNIGHT AS THE FRONT PUSHES
SOUTH AND WESTWARD. A SNOW BAND WILL DEVELOP IN SOUTHERN NM AROUND
06Z, LIKELY PUSHING INTO KROW BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z. HEAVY SNOW WILL
BE LOCALIZED AND WILL LIKELY STAY JUST SOUTH OF KROW, BUT THERE IS
HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO SNOWBAND PLACEMENT. AT KROW,
THERE IS AROUND A 50% CHANCE FOR 1"+ OF SNOW AND A 10% CHANCE OF
3"+, HOWEVER WARM GROUND TEMPS MAY LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS ON RUNWAYS.
