Heavy mountain snow is forecast through Saturday. Moderate to locally major travel impacts are expected in the northern mountains as a result, especially in the Tusas Mountains. Downed tree branches may result in power outages.
Gusty northwest winds with colder temperatures and scattered snow showers will make it feel very chilly Saturday. Watch for lingering slick travel impacts across northern NM.
A cold front will enter NM on Tuesday, bringing high probabilities for high temperatures below freezing Tuesday and Wednesday for eastern NM. The risk of frostbite and hypothermia increases with prolonged exposure to cold temps and wind chills.
