It looks like much of New Mexico will have a white Christmas.
It rained here this afternoon, but that will be tapering off overnight. However, a stronger storm will moving Friday and over the weekend.
According to KRQE:
Rain showers continue to move across New Mexico through Wednesday evening, but will wrap up overnight. A larger storm will bring more widespread rain and snow heading into the weekend.
A broad area of rain is moving across New Mexico Wednesday. The clouds are keeping temperatures a few degrees cooler today too. Snow levels are sitting high though, around 9,500′ today. The rain and mountain snow will continue to push north and east this evening, eventually moving out of the state by early Thursday morning. A quick ridge of high pressure will bring sunnier and drier weather on Thursday, along with warmer temperatures.
Friday morning will be quiet across New Mexico, but our next storm system starts moving in by the afternoon. Rain and mountain snow will begin pushing into western parts of the state Friday afternoon and continue to move eastward into Friday evening. Rain and mountain snow will become more widespread Friday night through Saturday morning, with snow levels dropping across western and northern parts of the state.
