Warnings and Notices

	Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 3:13 AM MST on November 28, 2009 ... A developing winter storm could impact West Texas and southeast New Mexico Sunday into early next week... A vigorous upper level low pressure system will strengthen across the Desert Southwest Sunday... and will then move east across northern Mexico and West Texas Monday and Tuesday. Upper level disturbances ahead of the low will move across West Texas and southeast New Mexico Saturday night and Sunday bringing a chance of rain and a few thunderstorms to much of the region during this time frame. A strong cold front will plunge southward across West Texas and southeast New Mexico during the day Sunday... and will bring much colder air into the region. Precipitation will continue to develop across the region Sunday night and Monday as the upper level storm system approaches. The airmass is expected to become sufficiently cold enough for snow across the Guadalupe Mountains late Sunday night... with a wintry mix of rain... sleet and snow possible across the Davis Mountains and upper trans Pecos region and the western Permian Basin. Precipitation may become all snow Monday night and Tuesday morning as the upper level low passes across West Texas. The potential for accumulating snows is increasing across portions of West Texas and southeast New Mexico during the Sunday night through Tuesday time frame... particularly across the mountains. Snowfall amounts of one to four inches with isolated amounts of up to six inches will be possible however confidence in the timing or locations of the snow is not high enough at this time to warrant the issuance of a winter weather watch. Residents and those planning travel across West Texas and southeast New Mexico should continue to monitor the latest forecasts and weather conditions as this developing winter weather event unfolds. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... the National Weather Service website... or your preferred weather information source for the latest forecasts and statements throughout the weekend.
