Late season winter storm this weekend will bring widespread rain and snow. Highest confidence for winter impacts will be in the northern mountains along the Colorado border, areas such as Raton Pass. Between 6 and 12 inches of snow is expected across the Northern Mountains with lesser amounts elsewhere. Lower elevations will see much needed rainfall, especially in eastern NM.
Snow and blowing snow from this weekend's storm will contribute to widespread minor and moderate impacts, with the low chance for major impacts around Raton Pass. Very low visibility is possible in areas of blowing snow.
Gusty winds will accompany a cold front racing southward across the eastern plains and westward through the gaps of the Central Mountain Chain Friday night and Saturday. The gusty winds will result in areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility as well as difficult driving for high profile vehicles. Blowing dust may impact Albuquerque.
Much colder temperatures are in store for Saturday. High temperatures will be between 15 and 40 degrees below normal and gusty winds will make it feel even colder.
