A backdoor cold front is pushing across the southern flanks of Sierra Blanca in the Sacramento mountains of southern New Mexico.
A low layer of clouds is trying to move west (to the left), against the prevailing winds. Tonight those winds will weaken and the cold front will move over us as we sleep.
The sun will set soon, and its yellow-orange rays shine on the advancing low clouds as they slowly cross the highest ridge. Conifers in the foreground are illuminated by the sun. The sky above Sierra Blanca peak is filled with scattered clouds, some in sunlight, some in shadow.
