Westerly winds gusted from 30 to 70 mph with locally stronger winds. Winds will finally begin to calm down tonight, but widespread freezing temperatures are likely by Sunday morning. Breezy to windy weather will return to eastern New Mexico Sunday afternoon, but temperatures will begin a warming trend. Slight breezes will stick around into Monday as we start to see rain and snow chances return with another storm system moving into the state late evening and into Tuesday. The best chances for widespread rain and higher elevation snow will be on Tuesday. However, temperatures will get cold enough that parts of eastern and northern eastern New Mexico could see some accumulating snowfall. Drier air will begin returning along with warmer weather resulting in much more spring-like weather late next week.
Skies begin to clear after some wet and windy conditions
