The National Weather Service in El Paso has issued an urgent weather message for residents in portions of south central and southwest New Mexico and Far West Texas. A freeze warning remains in force until 9 AM MDT Sunday, alerting the community to the risk of sub-freezing temperatures as low as 25 degrees. Places affected include cities like Socorro, Las Cruces, and Alamogordo, among others.
According to the National Weather Service, frost and freeze conditions could kill crops, other sensitive vegetation, and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. Residents in these areas are advised to take immediate measures to protect tender plants and outdoor pipes from the severe cold. Community members should wrap their pipes, drain them, or allow them to drip slowly to prevent the water from freezing and causing damage.
Despite the current chilly conditions, there is hope for warmer weather on the horizon. The detailed forecast predicts a clear shift, with sunny skies and rising temperatures anticipated for the following days. For example, Monday is expected to enjoy a high near 72 degrees, and by Wednesday, temperatures are forecasted to climb up to 86 degrees.
