Now
Areas of low clouds and localized freezing fog will persist into the overnight hours from the east slopes of the Central Mountain chain to the Texas border. The patchy fog will be the most likely from the Ruidoso area north through Clines Corners...Las Vegas...Raton and east to Clayton. Visibilities will be reduced to 3 to 5 miles...with some isolated one quarter to one half mile visibilities. Fog and low clouds could deposit black ice on highways...including Interstate 40 and Interstate 25. Bridges and overpasses could also be slick with black ice. Light snow may also accompany the low clouds and fog. Driving will be dangerous due to sudden changes in visibility and the patchy nature of black ice. In addition...wind chill values will be in the single digits along the east slopes of the Central Mountain chain. Motorists should allow plenty of time to reach their destinations tonight across central and eastern New Mexico.

Warnings & Notices

Special Statement

Expires 3:30 AM MST on February 12, 2012
Statement as of 3:23 PM MST on February 11, 2012

... Areas of dense freezing fog eastern plains tonight...

Expect locally poor visibilities in freezing fog to persist
across portions of eastern New Mexico tonight... with
visibilities near zero at times.

Freezing fog in contact with roads will produce dangerously slick
and icy spots in black ice conditions... especially on bridges and
other elevated surfaces. Of particular concern will be Interstate 40
from Clines Corners to the Texas line... and along highways 285...
60... 54 and 84... and Highway 70 in Roosevelt County.

In addition to the dense freezing fog... occasional flurries will be
encountered as temperatures hold nearly steady in the teens and 20s.
