Expected Snowfall

Fingers are crossed in New Mexico this week as a possible snowstorm will be moving into the state. The storm is expected to hit Wednesday-Thursday this week.

The map below from the National Weather Service shows how much snow is expected around the state. The Jamestown/Gallup area may see around 2.2 inches. Nearby Grants (about 35 miles east of Jamestown) will see a little higher amount at 2.7 inches.


As I've mentioned previously, this has been a dry winter and we can use the water.

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement:

...WINTER STORM TO BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW TO PORTIONS OF

NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NM WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...


A winter storm spreading over northern and central NM Wednesday is

expected to peak in coverage and intensity late Wednesday through

Wednesday night and Thursday morning, before exiting NM Thursday

night. Generalized snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches are favored

for areas along the Continental Divide and highlands adjacent to

the northern mountains. Higher amounts of 4 to 12 inches will

favor the northern mountains and highlands above 7,500 feet. Minor

to moderate impacts will result from this for these areas,

favoring the I-25 corridor from Raton to Santa Fe, northern

mountain passes and along I-40 through the Continental Divide and

central highlands east of Albuquerque. Currently a dusting to

couple of inches are favored within the Albuquerque metro area.

Little to to no snow is favored for lower elevation areas south of

U.S. Highway 60 including Socorro and Roswell.


There is still considerable room for the forecast to change

between now and Wednesday, specifically regarding snow amounts in

the middle elevations between 5,500 to 8,000 feet. This includes

Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Stay up-to-date on the latest forecast

information. Have alternative plans for travel and outdoor

activities to prepare for this period of inclement winter weather.
