.UPDATE...
UPDATE TO ADJUST LOW TEMPERATURES...WINDS AND DEWPOINTS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRANSLATING OVER NORTHERN MEXICO...ACCOMPANIED BY 
A FETCH OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE...WILL RESULT IN CLOUDY SKIES OVER 
THE REGION FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT.  AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSES 
SOME CLEARING WILL OCCUR OVER THE WESTERN ZONES.  TEMPERATURES WERE 
CURRENTLY AT OR NEAR CURRENT FORECASTED LOWS OVER PORTIONS OF 
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...AND SINCE SOME CLEARING WILL OCCUR...SURFACE 
WINDS WILL WEAKEN...AND SNOW STILL COVERED THE GROUND IN SOME OF 
THESE AREAS...WILL LOWER TEMPERATURES THERE A FEW DEGREES.  

OVER THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA...CLOUD COVER...5 TO 10KT WINDS 
AND INCREASED DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM DROPPING 
QUITE AS MUCH.  WILL THEREFORE RAISE OVERNIGHT LOWS A FEW DEGREES... 
EXCEPT ALONG THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE CWA WHERE THE COLD SURFACE 
RIDGE MAY ACTUALLY BUILD WESTWARD SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT.  WILL SEND AN 
UPDATE SHORTLY FOR THESE CHANGES.  67
