A Wind Advisory is in effect for portions of eastern New Mexico tonight through Friday for wind gusts up to 55 mph. Areas of blowing dust may create visibility reductions down-wind of dust- prone locations.

Light rain and snow showers will favor northern New Mexico Friday. Accumulations will be very light and generally confined to areas above 9,000 feet.

Light rain will favor southern New Mexico early next week, with light snow above around 9,000 feet. Precipitation amounts have trended down so significant benefical rainfall appears even less likely.
