A cold front has pushed through today bringing continued breezy and windy conditions with well below normal temperatures.
High wind warning and wind advisory still in effect through tonight for southwest New Mexico. Wind gusts to 50 mph are possible in New Mexico bootheel.
Scattered rain showers for the middle of next week as temperatures rebound.
Today, we will see our coldest temperatures of the season so far with lows dipping down to the low 40s through much of the lowlands. Area mountains will see subfreezing conditions with the Sacs reaching the low 20s in some parts during tomorrow's early morning. These temperature trends are about 15 to 20 degrees below normal for this time of year. High temperatures will rebound by the end of the weekend. Widespread sustained easterly winds between 20 and 30 mph will continue this afternoon and evening with gusts exceeding 50 mph at times in parts of southern Hidalgo county.
Blowing dust remains a concern through this evening coinciding with the greatest wind threat in southern Hidalgo county according to the signatures in the RRFS. A Blowing Dust Advisory near the Lordsburg Playa, NM Bootheel, and Luna county is in effect through 8 PM tonight.
Winds subside and precipitation chances are rather slim for most of the weekend with greater chances favoring the western half of the forecast area on Sunday morning as a developing upper level low pushes east. This low deepens considerably over the course of next week bringing with it increasing chances for precipitation. Flooding is possible with areawide rain and PWs reaching around 1 inch. Confidence remains low for midweek rain impacts at this time.
