Wednesday

With snow levels near or above 7000 feet, snow will be confined to area mountains with Wednesday night's storm. Light accumulations are expected (1-3") in the high elevations with a low chance (20-40%) of seeing 3" or more in populated areas. Slippery roads can be expected Wednesday night into Thursday, including Emory Pass and US Hwy 82 through Cloudcroft.

Highest rainfall will be favored west of the RGV with Wednesday night's storm system. Generally 0.10-0.25" of liquid are forecast across the area with high-end amounts of over 0.50" out west.

A more unsettled weather pattern takes over from Wednesday into Friday with multiple storm systems pushing through the region. The first one Wed night brings scattered to numerous rain and mtn snow showers to the area, tapering off Thu morning. Before the second system arrives early Fri, winds increase from the west for Thursday with gusts to 40 mph during the afternoon, higher along east mtn slopes.

Winds increase Wednesday night through Thursday as a storm system ushers in colder air later this week. It will feel quite chilly each morning from Friday through Sunday with wind chill values into the teens for the lowlands and colder in the mountains.

Rain (and a little snow in the mountains) chances return on Wednesday. The best chances for precipitation will be west of the Rio Grande. High temperatures will run a little above average east and a little below average west of the river. The winds will be from the southwest at 5 to 15 mph with some wind gusts in the afternoon.
