...HIGH WINDS LATER TONIGHT AND SUNDAY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO...

.A potent upper level disturbance and a strong surface cold front
will bring high and potentially damaging winds to parts of
central, south central and eastern New Mexico later tonight 
through the day Sunday. In addition, a brief burst of snow is 
likely after midnight tonight across the higher terrain of central
New Mexico. While snow amounts will not be that significant, 
roads may become a sheet of ice as cold air invades the area along
with the snow. The high winds will produce blowing snow and brief
white-out conditions, making travel even more treacherous.
