LOCAL UPDATE

Monterrey --> the city is experiencing strong gusty winds due to the developing winter storm over Texas that passed north of the city last night.

City workers try to fix the blackout problems due to high winds

Sustained winds of 20-30 km/h with gust reaching 60 km/h at times have knock down trees, telephone lines and left areas with power outages. Today we'll reach 28°C and stay at a cool 15°C at night with clear skies but high winds. Now, next week gets tricky. Computer models have been consistent in showing just rain on the area but due to the orographic conditions of the city, I wouldn't be surprised if at least we see some snow or sleet at the mountains around 1400 meters and above; specially tuesday night-wednesday morning. And if more arctic air keeps pouring southward we could actually have some wintry precipitation in certain areas of the city above 700 meters. I think we'll need to wait just 24 hours before to be certain on what will happen. Indeed this week will be a very cold one for us down at the city with very damp conditions so precautions in water pipes, cars and children should be taken.

REGIONAL UPDATE 

Much of northeastern Mexico will soon experience very low temperatures due to the arctic air mass moving south from Siberia. Temperature departures as low as 15-20°F below normal could become widespread with hard freezes in cities such as Piedras Negras, Monclova, Saltillo and Cd. Acuña possible. 

Snow and wintry precipitation is likely at the mountains in central Coahuila while at Tamaulipas, the Rio Grande Lower Valley will have very low temps expected to reach freezing temps midweek. Crops could face a threat due to freezes around the area.

 

Cheers.
