Another Night of Freezing Fog

Cold temperatures in the single digits and teens and wind chills as low as -5 to 15 degrees can be expected over southeast New Mexico and much of west Texas tonight into Tuesday morning. Continue to check on family, neighbors, and the elderly, give pets and plants a warm place to stay, and protect pipes!

Temperatures are slowly, but surely warming up, though hazardous wind chills stick around tonight and tomorrow morning. Patchy dense freezing fog is expected to develop over the Permian Basin, southeast New Mexico, and Trans Pecos tonight into Tuesday morning. Temperatures reach above freezing for most, if not all locations tomorrow afternoon.

If you're curious how much snow/sleet fell near you, here are the totals from this past weekend's winter event.

A Freezing Fog Advisory is again in effect for most of the region north of I-20 and the Davis Mountain foothills through 11 am CST/10 am MST. Expect visibilities 1/4 mile or less and a glaze of ice on roads. Delay travel if possible. If you have to drive, turn on low- beam headlights and drive slowly.
