Spring Storm Moving In

Above, enjoying a brew on Friday.

It seems like every time we start getting more warmer weather, a storm makes its way into New Mexico. It was in the 60s on Friday and Saturday.

This pattern is happening this weekend as a spring storm is moving into the state. I was sprinkling outside what I woke up this morning.

According to KRQE:

Friday afternoon was one of the warmest days so far this year across New Mexico. High temperatures almost hit 70° in Albuquerque with the upper 70s and low 80s in southern New Mexico. Changes are on the way starting Saturday with an increase in cloud cover all across New Mexico. South and southwesterly winds will also pick up across the state. Temperatures will still be warm though despite the cloud cover.

An early spring storm system will move into New Mexico on Sunday. A strong cold front will sweep across the state from west to east Sunday morning. Rain and mountain snow will develop along and behind this cold front, but could skip out on the Rio Grande Valley Sunday morning. Scattered rain and snow showers will continue through the day Sunday with cooler temperatures. The biggest impacts from the snow will be above 8,000′ in the northern mountains. High winds develop Sunday afternoon with potentially damaging wind gusts across southern and eastern New Mexico where 60 to 70 mph wind gusts will be possible. ‘ High winds develop Sunday afternoon with potentially damaging wind gusts across southern and eastern New Mexico where 60 to 70 mph wind gusts will be possible.
