Widespread precipitation is expected across central and northern New Mexico Wednesday into Thursday. Most of this moisture will be beneficial, but there is a low threat of flash flooding with moderate rainfall rates in south-central and southwestern New Mexico. Precipitation will end in most areas Thursday night, lingering into early Friday in the northern mountains.
High mountain snow is likely Wednesday through early Friday. Snow levels will begin around 9,500 feet, dropping down to around 8,000 feet by the time snow ends Friday morning. Heavy precipitation rates may briefly drop snow levels up to 1,000 feet lower, which may create briefly difficult driving conditions.
The next storm system moving across the area Wednesday night through Thursday night will favor additional snow atop the northern mountains of NM. The northern mountains will be the main area favored for snow accumulations. As much as 10 inches or greater may fall over the highest peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
