ABC-7 First Alert continues – Very cold temperatures settle in tonight and early morning Monday

Record amounts of rain slammed both El Paso and Las Cruces over the last couple of days. The roads have been slick and the ground saturated. Snowfall has been concentrated in the mountains along with parts of Doña Ana, Otero, Hudspeth, and Culberson counties.

Drier air will settle in the Borderland as today progresses. Temperatures will not climb out of the 40s with some sunshine developing. The roads will be a bit slick in spots, certainly where the rain has ponded, and some of that will freeze late tonight and overnight. I expect overnight low temps to drop in the upper teens and lower 20s by Monday morning.
