... Winter storm striking southern New Mexico and western Texas
today...
A low pressure system will move west to east across New Mexico and
western Texas today while easterly winds push cooler air into the
region at low levels. This weather pattern will produce areas of
rain showers and sleet across the area this morning with
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms forecasted this
afternoon. A few storms could produce small hail. It will also
remain windy this morning along the western slopes of the
Franklin and Organ Mountains with gusts to 40 mph possible.
The weather conditions may create hazardous travel conditions from
slippery roads and low visibilities so persons driving should
exercise caution.
