...Cold winter conditions expected over the next 24 to 48 hours...
A strong Pacific cold front will be moving out of the Four Corners
area and sweep south across the Borderland late tonight into
Tuesday morning. The frontal passage will produce gusty north
winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 30-40 mph overnight through
the Sierra Lakes region/Luna and Dona Ana Counties, and also the
Tularosa Basin through El Paso County. Wind gusts will still be
brisk in other areas, but not quite as strong. The brisk winds
will create apparent temperatures of 5 to 15 degrees in the
mountains and 15 to 25 degrees across the lowlands by early
Tuesday morning.
While day time temperatures will reach the 40s and lower 50s in
the lowlands, the brisk winds will keep the apparent temperature
in mostly the 30s and lower 40s across the lowlands. Winds will
diminish later Tuesday afternoon, allowing airmass to chill to the
coldest temperatures of the season by Wednesday morning. Low
temperatures at this time are expected to be around 15 to 25
degrees lowlands and 10 to 20 degrees in the mountains. Apparent
temperatures both mornings will be quite similar, trading brisk
winds Tuesday for lower ambient temperatures Wednesday.
Wednesday will remain on the cool side before we begin a warmup
Thursday, and especially Friday into the weekend.
People are urged to protect outdoor equipment such as exposed
pipes, and also to protect/prepare pets for the cold weather.

The annual Western New Mexico University Jingle and Mingle for the students and the community took place Dec. 5, 2024 at Regents Square. Everyone could vote on their favorite tree among those decorated by departments. Music filled the air with school singers and local favorite performers singing Christmas songs. The smells of tamales and other foods tempted everyone to buy tickets for food. Santa Claus heard from kids telling him what they want for Christmas. The area filled with families and students on a breezy, chilly evening. But heaters and gas fires helped people stay warm.
