A chilly morning is expected for southwest and south-central New Mexico Thursday morning with the coolest air of the season so far. Dry air, light winds, and clear skies will set the stage for rapid cooling starting after midnight. This pattern will allow sheltered, low-lying areas to cool to near or just below the freezing mark early in the morning before warming again shortly after sunrise. Agricultural interests in known cold regions should take precautions to protect plants from freezing temperatures. $$ JMG
