Overview
An upper trough near the Four Corners region and the central and southern Rockies tracked south and east across the forecast area. A couple of short wave troughs moved southeast across the Panhandles Thursday night through Friday. These short wave troughs combine with the moisture and cold air to bring periods of snow across the region from late Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Bands of light snow tracked east out of New Mexico and across the Panhandles. The snow diminished Friday morning as drier air worked down from the north by the afternoon.
