Northwest wind gusts will vary from 30 to 45 mph this afternoon from west central to south central areas. Wind speeds will then strengthen from the continental divide to the east slopes of the central mountain chain this evening.
The snow level will start out at valley bottoms across the west this morning, then lift above 7500 feet this afternoon. The focus for rain and snow will shift to northeast and east central areas tonight.
Winds will increase later this afternoon and evening as a cold front sweeps through the area. Highest gusts this afternoon will be felt across western NM where gusts could reach as high as 50 mph.
While colder temperatures remain Tuesday, overall weather conditions will clear out. Breezy to windy conditions will linger through the far eastern plains along the Texas border.
Two winter storm systems will have high temperatures fluctuating through the work week. Stay tuned for the Wed/Thu storm system as details come into better view.
