Enjoy the nice weather before a cold front arrives

Sunday projects as another warm and sunny day but a looming cold front will send temperatures plunging on Tuesday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Once again, low clouds and fog will be possible for parts of east-central New Mexico in the morning Sunday.

The central highlands will see another round of gusty winds and a High Wind Watch has been issued.

A brief winter system will enter the region on Monday and bring light snowfall accumulations and some gusty winds with the frontal passage. The highest accumulations of 2-3 inches will be observed in the Raton Pass area.

After the system exits on Tuesday morning, a cold air mass will bring abnormally cold temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will warm up after Wednesday and conditions look to remain dry through the end of next week.
