Update at 8:55 AM MST-

Low clouds are developing across the Pecos Valley this morning. If they do not burn off later today, we may not be as warm as forecast. My SE NM Radar is showing some very light snow showers near the Van Horn, Marfa, Alpine, and Fort Stockton areas.

A cold front slipped south of the area overnight and in its wake much colder temperatures are expected across the area today. At sunrise this morning local temperatures are cold. A sample of some of the readings at 6:30 AM MST include-

Today's highs are forecast to range from the low-mid 40's. High clouds will drift across the area from time to time. A warming trend is forecast to commence tomorrow with highs mostly in the 50's. By Saturday and Sunday we will start to see highs in the upper 50's to low-mid 60's, with a few spots perhaps a little warmer. Overall a rather tranquil weather pattern is expected to hold across the area into the weekend.
