Our winter storm finally exited the state Sunday.  There were a few flurries in Lea county into the afternoon.  Now the storm is in West Texas and New Mexico is left with clearing skies and warming temps.  There is another upper level trough that will bring clouds to the state Monday afternoon.  Expect little precipitation with this system as it passes through.  However, the clouds will help overnight temperatures from getting too chilly. 

Our sites are set now on the next storm that could bring good moisture to the state as we head towards Friday and Saturday.  The storm will set up over the Baja and hang out until the end of the week when it will get kicked east and pump moisture our way.  As far as widespread winter weather is concerned, it won't be as significant due to the storms warmer origins.  Mount ain areas will see the best chance for snow while lower areas will mainly see rain.  We will keep you updated as this storm approaches.
