It looks like some parts of New Mexico will see some snow (maybe) on Thanksgiving Day. The snow forecast has it in the eastern part of the state.

A warming trend is also happening this week. We sure can use a break in the cold weather.

From KRQE:

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Temperatures will warm every day through the middle of this week. A storm will dive into New Mexico on Thanksgiving Day, potentially bringing snow to eastern parts of the state.

After a frigid last several days for all of New Mexico, warmer weather is finally beginning to return this week. Westerly winds are helping to draw in this drier and warmer air. We will continue this warming trend into Wednesday when high temperatures will be right around, if not slightly above-average for the end of November.

The forecast becomes more interesting starting Thanksgiving Day. A storm system will dive into New Mexico Wednesday night through Thursday, bringing a drop in temperatures statewide by Thursday afternoon.

Then the forecast becomes a lot more uncertain. There is a lot of variability as to the track of the storm system later this week, but there is the possibility of snowfall across the eastern half of New Mexico from Thursday through Friday. 

It looks like we in the western half of the state will be spared the snow.
