Weather Outlook
A cold front will continue sweeping southeast across the Plains and into the Southwest today with dry and windy conditions ahead of it. Widespread elevated to critical conditions will overspread much of New Mexico into west Texas and southern Colorado. Post-frontal dry and windy conditions are also likely across western North Dakota and portions of the Plains east of the Northern Rockies. A surface low will slowly move north in the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes today with precipitation spreading over much of this area. A stronger surface low will develop on the southern Plains with severe weather likely in the ArkLaTex through the Lower Mississippi Valley.
