A backdoor cold front will move into the area from the east-
northeast tonight, beginning around 9 PM in the northern Tularosa
Basin. Winds increase behind the front for a few hours overnight
and Wednesday morning, approaching Wind Advisory criteria in some
locations (most likely west slopes of the Sacramento and Hueco
Mountains). Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph from the east- 
northeast can be expected for a few hours with gusts up to 50 mph 
possible, especially along west mountain slopes, including the 
Sacramentos, Huecos, and Franklins. Breezy winds continue through 
the day with gusts to 30 mph. Winds become breezy further north 
and west as well behind the front, but are not expected to be as 
strong as the zones included in this product.
