Warnings and Notices

	Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 2:55 PM MST on February 09, 2010 ... Wintry weather expected across portions of southern New Mexico Wednesday evening through Thursday... Another low pressure system currently off the California coast... will dive southeastward into far southern Arizona and northwest Mexico late tonight into Wednesday morning. The low is then expected to make its way eastward along the international border Wednesday night. Light accumulating snows will develop across parts of west central and southwest New Mexico Wednesday afternoon... with mountain snow and mixed rain and snow at the lower elevations spreading eastward Wednesday night into Thursday morning. There is the potential for moderate to heavy accumulations in the upper Gila region as well as the Guadalupe... northern Sacramento and Capitan Mountains and adjacent High Plains. A mix of rain... sleet and snow is possible across the southeast plains Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. The exact track of this storm is still somewhat uncertain. A track further south would result in less snowfall for the area... while a more northerly track would result in significant accumulations over the higher terrain of southern and central New Mexico. Residents of southern New Mexico are urged to keep abreast of the latest forecasts and weather conditions. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... the National Weather Service website... or your preferred media outlet for the latest forecasts and statements on this potential winter storm.
