Special Weather Statement Statement as of 11:05 am MDT on May 13, 2008

... Major weather changes underway across New Mexico...

Two storm systems will impact New Mexico through at least the end of
this week... resulting in much cooler temperatures... widespread rain
and High Mountain snow... and strong east winds across the Rio Grande
and Tularosa valleys.

The dry... windy and generally warm weather in recent weeks will be
coming to an end across northern and central New Mexico as two storm
systems this week will finally provide US with much needed moisture.
The first storm is over Arizona and will slowly cross southern New
Mexico tonight and Wednesday. Meanwhile a strong cold front will
continue to press south and west over the eastern plains this
afternoon and tonight. Temperatures over northeast New Mexico this
afternoon will be nearly 30 degrees cooler than Monday... while other
areas will see a 10 to 20 degree drop in temperatures. Showers and
thunderstorms will develop this afternoon over western and northern
New Mexico and spread across the entire state tonight... then continue
on Wednesday. Elevations above 8500 feet tonight could see wet
snow... with small accumulations above 9000 feet.

Strong east winds will pour into the Rio Grande Valley tonight...
especially through the canyons and passes. However... winds will
likely top the Central Mountain chain and affect much of the Rio
Grande Valley. A Wind Advisory will be issued this afternoon for
these strong winds later tonight into Wednesday morning.

With showers and thunderstorms bringing rain to the Trigo fire area
later tonight and Wednesday there is the potential for flash flooding
over the fresh scarring from the fire. A Flash Flood Watch will be
posted around 12 PM today. Rain amounts over the Trigo fire and much
of New Mexico will average a quarter to one half inch... with locally
one inch amounts. Favored areas for the more substantial precipitation
should be south of Interstate 40 and east of Interstate 25.

The second storm will move into New Mexico from the north Wednesday
night and Thursday... bringing more Rain... Mountain snow and even
cooler temperatures.
