VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE

POTENTIAL FOR LOW STRATUS AND FOG EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE IN DEVELOPMENT REMAINS LOW, AND MVFR CONDITIONS ARE NOT
CURRENTLY EXPECTED. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR SATURDAY MORNING AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA. AHEAD OF THE FRONT,
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
BEHIND THE FRONT ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA, GENERALLY AT 10 TO 15
KNOTS. BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THE FRONT WILL HAVE MOVED THROUGH MOST
OF THE AREA, WITH NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KNOTS AND
GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
SANDHILLS.

LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY AREAS OF DRIZZLE CONTINUE OVER PORTIONS OF
EAST CENTRAL TO SOUTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO EARLY THIS EVENING. THESE
LOW CLOUDS WILL PERSIST TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH
SCATTERED TO MVFR CEILINGS (LESS THAN 3,000 FT) AND LOCALIZED, OR
ISOLATED IFR CEILINGS (LESS THAN 1,000 FT). WHILE MUCH OF THE
NORTHWESTERN HALF OF NEW MEXICO IS CURRENTLY VFR AND MOSTLY CLEAR,
PATCHY GROUND FOG WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING
SATURDAY. MOST WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS WOULD BE EXPECTED TO
STAY IN THE MVFR CATEGORY (3 TO 5 MILE VISIBILITY) OR BETTER EARLY
SATURDAY, BUT SPOTTY AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS (1 TO 3 MILE
VISIBILITY) CANNOT BE RULED OUT (10-30% CHANCE), ESPECIALLY WHERE
STANDING WATER AND SOGGY SOILS ARE CONCENTRATED. INTO THE
AFTERNOON SATURDAY, A CLEARING TREND WILL COMMENCE WITH VFR
CONDITIONS, JUST A FEW FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS CLOUDS, AND LIGHT
BREEZES PREVAILING.
