A really big storm system (you may call it "Biblical proportions") is heading down into the U.S.
The brunt of it will be from Texas to the east into the deep South. We may get a little bit from this weather pattern, but not like what the South will be getting.
Here's what the National Weather Service forecasts for Jamestown/Gallup, New Mexico:
It will be hitting the Jamestown/Gallup starting Friday and through Saturday night.
According to the Albuquerque Journal:
Snow lovers hold your breath.
Areas of northern and central New Mexico could see snowfall of up to 6 inches this weekend thanks to an incoming winter storm. At least a few inches, maybe more, could drop in parts of the Duke City.
A cold front Thursday will turn into precipitation beginning Friday afternoon — a “mix of rain and snow,” according to meteorologist David Craft with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque. The NWS predicts snowfall will start Friday night, reaching its heaviest point around Saturday afternoon.
The Albuquerque area has a 40% chance of more than 3 inches of snow, Craft said. The chance for that much snowfall goes up to around 50% in Rio Rancho and 60% in Santa Fe.
“If anybody's thinking about traveling this weekend, they really need to pay close attention to the weather forecast and any warnings and advisories that we issue, because we could be looking at some road closures and some very treacherous travel,” Craft said.
Actually, we really do need the moisture. It has been a relatively dry winter so far.
