Behind a cold front, expect windy conditions and increasing rain chances this morning before becoming widespread in the afternoon hours. Mountain snow overnight that may make its way to the lower basins for Tuesday morning. Thankful for Spring!

Another round of severe thunderstorms is possible for this afternoon and evening across eastern New Mexico and Oklahoma. Large hail, frequent lightning and damaging wind gusts will be the main threats with these storms.
