I took my Aunt Patsy’s dog for a walk in Alamogordo on Saturday. They received a lot more snow than El Paso and even had some patchy snow left, which the dog (and I) loved very much.
But remember: we still have a lot of weeks left in winter, and we could still get another winter blast. I’ll be honest… I WANT MORE SNOW!! Here are the top three snow events in El Paso history, compliments of the National Weather Service.
TONIGHT: Tonight, The skies will be generally clear with just a few high, thin clouds. The NE breeze will feel chilly at 5-10 mph, and the low will drop to 29 at the airport, 25 in the valley.
FORECAST: Tuesday will be a beautiful day with a high of 56. Enjoy lots of sunshine with just a few clouds. The NE winds will range from 5-15 mph. Wednesday will also be a lovely day and warmer with a high of 60. The skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy, and the NE winds will range from 5-10 mph. Thursday will be even warmer with a high of 64. High pressure starts to build up, and the winds will shift SW at 5-15 mph. On Friday, a powerful low-pressure system sweeps over the Borderland. Unfortunately, this will stir up the winds. Those gusty west winds will be strong, gusting to near 50 mph. This will likely stir up a dusty haze. Friday’s high: 63. The skies will turn mostly cloudy with a slight chance of a few drops here and there… Nothing major. Saturday will be sunny with cooler, lighter winds. The NW winds will gust to near 35 mph, and the high will be 57. Sunday will be sunny and 50.
