ACROSS NORTHERN OLD MEXICO ON MONDAY. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY
BEGIN IN THE FORM OF RAIN ACROSS ALL BUT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS ON

PRECIPITATION WILL SHIFT TO AREAS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT...AND
GIVEN THE COLD TEMPERATURES...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL IN
THE FORM OF SNOW. BY MONDAY...MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 BEFORE IT TAPERS OFF MONDAY NIGHT.

STAY ADVISED OF THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS AS THIS
