AS OF THIS AFTERNOON, PRESENT CAM RUNS HAVE SEEN THE CURRENT
CLOUD DECK NOT LETTING UP FOR THE DAY WITH MOST MODELS NOT SEEING
IT FULLY BREAK DOWN AROUND KAMA UNTIL LATE TOMORROW MORNING. TO
ADD TO THIS IT LIKELY THAT KAMA WILL EXPERIENCE MIST TO LIGHT
DRIZZLE OFF AND ON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS WHICH WILL KEEP THE
TERMINAL BOUNCING BETWEEN MVFR AND IFR VISIBILITIES WHILE
MAINTAINING LIFR CIGS. MEANWHILE, KGUY AND KDHT HAVE BEEN MORE ON
THE FRINGES OF THIS CLOUD SHIELD WITH THEM ONLY EXPERIENCING MVFR
CONDITIONS THAT WILL SLOWLY TRY TO TRANSITION TO VFR BY TONIGHT.
BEYOND THAT, CONCERNS ARE PRESENT THAT THE STILL LINGERING
MOISTURE, ALONGSIDE EXPECTED LIGHT WINDS, MAY BRING FOG OR ANOTHER
ROUND OF MIST DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF TOMORROW.
HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IN THIS HAS BEEN WAVERING WITH MENTION ONLY AT
KAMA AT THIS TIME.

MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL IN THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE

AND DRIZZLE HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AT KSRR AND IS LIKELY TO PERSIST
OFF AND ON THROUGH THE DAY. LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF EASTERN NM TODAY, WITH COVERAGE PUSHING
WESTWARD TO THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
OVERNIGHT. PERSISTENT LOW CIGS (1-3KFT) ARE LIKELY TONIGHT, WITH
VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS IN BR AND FG FAVORED ALONG THE EAST SLOPES
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. FG MAY DEVELOP IN THE PLAINS AROUND
SUNRISE AS WELL, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. PATCHY FG MAY ALSO
DEVELOP IN PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND NORTHERN NM AROUND SUNRISE
