...WINTER STORM TO IMPACT NEW MEXICO MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
A vigorous low pressure system is forecast to move off of the
Pacific and into New Mexico Monday into Tuesday with strong
winds, much colder temperatures and accumulating snowfall. A
strong Pacific cold front will sweep eastward across New Mexico on
Monday, and moderate to occasionally heavy snow will begin to
impact western and central portions of the state. In addition,
strong winds will develop on Monday with areas of blowing snow
potentially worsening travel conditions, mainly west of the
central mountain chain. Wind speeds on Monday will be strongest
from the southwestern and south central mountains northeastward
into the high plains where occasional gusts of 45 to 65 mph will
be possible.
Snow will begin to taper off and decrease Monday night into
Tuesday, however another round of very strong winds will impact
New Mexico, especially central to eastern areas of the state where
gusts of 45 to 55 mph will be common Tuesday afternoon. Cold
temperatures are also expected Tuesday with frigid wind chills
ranging from sub-zero readings to the teens Tuesday morning and
again Tuesday night.
Those with outdoor activities or travel plans on Monday and Tuesday
will want to remain tuned into the latest weather forecast and
statements at weather.gov/abq or through your preferred media
outlet. You can find the latest road conditions at nmroads.com
