Statement as of 4:37 AM MDT on March 20, 2010 ... Wintry precipitation is possible across the Guadalupe Mountains... the southeast New Mexico plains... the Van Horn corridor... the upper trans Pecos region and the Permian Basin this morning... An upper level storm system will move across New Mexico and West Texas this morning. Abundant moisture and lift spreading ahead of this feature will combine with much colder air spilling through the region to bring a chance of wintry precipitation across southeast New Mexico... the Van Horn corridor... the Guadalupe Mountains... the upper trans Pecos region and the Permian Basin this morning. Precipitation will be mainly in the form of snow across the Guadalupe Mountains... the southeast New Mexico plains and the northern Permian Basin. Snow accumulations... if any... will be light... generally around 1 inch or less. Northerly winds of 20 to 30 mph... with higher gusts may occasionally reduce the visibility in blowing snow. Farther south... a wintry mix of rain and snow will be possible across the Van Horn corridor... the upper trans Pecos region and the central and southern Permian Basin. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or other local media stations for the latest statements regarding this winter weather event.
