We have a 40% - 60% chance of seeing scattered rain showers and perhaps a few t-storms today. Our skies will be overcast for most of the day with our afternoon high temperatures forecast to range from 48 in Roswell and Hobbs, to 51 in Artesia and 54 in Carlsbad. The rain will end by late tonight with clearing skies. I would suspect that there may be areas of fog tomorrow morning given the recent light rain over the area.

For the rest of the weekend we can expect to see mostly sunny skies with warming temperatures. Our highs on Saturday are forecast to be in the mid-upper 50's, and Sunday should see at least the mid-upper 60's.

Windy Monday?

GFS 500 MB Forecast @ 5 PM MST Mon Feb 20, 2012.

Our next weather maker will arrive by Monday. Current model forecasts track this storm to our north so Monday potentially looks like a windy day across SE NM and W TX. We have been lucky so far this winter and haven't had a lot of high wind events. Since November 1st I have recorded 2.21" of rainfall here at my home in Carlsbad, and 17.5" of snowfall. Its been a wet winter, and hopefully this will carry over into the spring.
