WEATHER SUMMARY FOR NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
530 PM MST SUN NOV 22 2009

ANOTHER QUIET DAY PREVAILED ACROSS THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT WITH JUST
A FEW HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING OVER THE STATE. TEMPERATURES WERE A BIT
LOWER THAN YESTERDAY ACROSS THE EAST THANKS TO A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT
WENT THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING.  HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WERE IN
THE 50S ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...WHILE 60S
AND LOWER 70S WERE COMMON ACROSS THE SOUTH.  EXTREMES RANGED FROM 45
DEGREES AT ANGEL FIRE...TO 71 DEGREES AT CARLSBAD AND ROSWELL.
FINAL MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM 11 DEGREES AT CHAMA...TO
40 DEGREES AT T OR C.

ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PASS TO THE NORTH OF NEW MEXICO
TONIGHT.  THIS WILL KEEP WINDS UP ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
NORTH OVERNIGHT.  AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF A SNOWFLAKE OR TWO FALLING
FROM THE SKY IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS...BUT LIMITED MOISTURE
WILL PRECLUDE MUCH MORE THAN THAT. AS THE TROUGH SWINGS EASTWARD...
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE ON MONDAY.  BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY JUST EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...LOOK FOR GRADUALLY WARMING TEMPERATURES.
THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY SHOULD BE CLOSE TO PERFECT AS AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE CENTERS ITSELF OVER NEW MEXICO. TEMPERATURES FOR THE
HOLIDAY WILL BE 2 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS.
